Single DMVPN with Two HUB

NAGISWAREN2

Level 1

Hi All,

Im doing some lab test on GNS3 for DMVPN before go into real implementation. in here, we have Single DMVPN cloud with 2 HUBs. Note here, those two HUB not for redundancy purpose. They both located at different location and both serving different Web application to branches. So instead of creating 2 DMVPN cloud (1 for each HUB), I combined them in single DMVPN. Both Hub will talk each other via Point-toPoint Link. I purposely not include HUB1 to HUB2 connection in DMVPN. I have no problem on connectivity between SOPKE to Both HUB or SPOKE to SOPKE. Everything jus worked fine. But SOPKE sees two NHS server, and send request for NHRP mapping for to both of HUB , and both HUB also replies to the request. In such case, SPOKE2 sees SPOKE1 LAN IP via 2 available path, but gateway is SAME.Below is the output on SOPKE2. Why is it in this way? Can I make it HUB1 is the only NHS server, while having static NHRP mapping for HUB2 in SOPKE routers.?

SOPKE1 : 10.0.0.3 LAN: 172.16.30.0

SOPKE2: 10.0.0.4 LAN : 172.16.40.0

HUB1 : 10.0.0.1 LAN : 172.16.10.0

HUB2: 10.0.0.2 LAN : 172.16.20.0

SPOKE2#sho ip route eigrp

Please remember that NHS registration is the means by which hub known how to contact spoke.

Regarding "why"... both hubs learn about 172.16.30.0/24 from spoke 1. Since both of them have split horizon disabled, they will both advertise it back on tunnel interface.

That's why you see spoke1 LAN in eigrp topology available via 10.0.0.3 but in routing table you have them available via 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2.

I understand why is it showing two available path to another SPOKE. So how do make it only HUB1 become NHS server while still having static NHRP mapping to HUB2. Enable Split-horizon on HUB2 will disable route update back to spoke, but its still serving as NHS server. How to achieve this?

Regards, Nagis

If you're looking for a solution based on routing protocol it all depends on your requirements.

Advertising a summary via hub2 and unsuppressing some of the prefixes you want could be workaround.
