Configure VPN to the hub

Configure VPN to the hub

The branch uses a normal site-to-site VPN configuration.

Wildcard security associations are define in the phase2 configuration because dynamic routing with BGP determines what traffic must traverse the VPN tunnel for encryption/transmission.

To make sure that the VPN is established, auto-negotiate is enabled.

To configure the IPsec phase1 interfaces:
config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
    edit "vpn_dc1-1"
        set interface "port2"
        set peertype any
        set exchange-interface-ip enable
        set proposal aes256-sha256
        set dhgrp 5
        set remote-gw 172.16.0.78
        set psksecret ********
    next
    edit "vpn_dc1-2"
        set interface "port3"
        set peertype any
        set exchange-interface-ip enable
        set proposal aes256-sha256
        set dhgrp 5
        set remote-gw 172.16.0.82
        set psksecret ********
    next
end
To configure the IPsec phase2 interfaces:
config vpn ipsec phase2-interface
    edit "vpn_dc1-1_p2"
        set phase1name "vpn_dc1-1"
        set proposal aes256-sha256
        set pfs disable
        set replay disable
        set auto-negotiate enable
    next
    edit "vpn_dc1-2_p2"
        set phase1name "vpn_dc1-2"
        set proposal aes256-sha256
        set pfs disable
        set replay disable
        set auto-negotiate enable
    next
end
