Site-to-Site VPN - Dynamic Virtual Tunnel Interface (DVTI) 1

have you tried specifying the tunnel interfaces as the exit points for the routes?? are you planning on using a routing protocol or any multicast traffic across the tunnel?? If not, have you just considered using a policy-based VPN with a dynamic crypto map on the central site and a static crypto map on the remote site?? just trying to get a feel for where you're at.

We currently use dynamic crypto maps but we have to define alot of route maps etc to get the traffic to go where we want it. Yes we intend to run a routing protocol etc. And I also want to do it because it can be done!

the configs above work and the static VTI's work, I can use the tunnel0 interface as the next hop an that works also, when using the DVTI setup there are no tunnel interfaces created only virtual-access interfaces.

This is the example config from the NIL webpage and I have adapted it for my MAIN-SITE router:

What am i missing to get traffic flowing from the main site to the remote site????? looking at the session data above it looks like the remote site is sending some traffic and it is being recived on the main site as packets are being en'ed and dec'ed but only one way!

I think its somthing to do with the loopback interface and how it borrowes the IP in the virtual template and also how to correctly set up the routing!

any idea's anyone?

Well, I guess the problem is that you can't actually specify a next-hop for virtual-tunnel interface. Enable EIGRP for the VT and the Tunnel interfaces and see if the neighborship is formed. Remove your static routes.

Yes your right, I happened to just try settin up RIPv2 to see what would happen and hey presto I could ping both ends(also changed the loopback addresses).... I guess what I found confusing is how can RIP or any routing protocol be able to communicate with the other end if I cant? I know they use multicast.....

Below is the working config's if anyone is interested!

It just has to do with the fact that you can't specify a virtual-template as an exit interface like you can with a tunnel. The fact that the routing protcol traffic is multicast really has no bearing on whether or not the tunnel comes up and traffic can pass. Once the IPSec SA's are established and the routing protocol is enabled for the interface the respective routing protocols take care of the rest. One of the major points of using SVTI/DVTI is to support the multicast traffic.

Anyway, glad you got it sorted.
