How to configure Remote Offices Using OSPF for Redundancy 

Nov 25, 2015 07:12 PM

Requirement:

To provide redundancy in a remote location when using the Aruba 600 Series Controllers and to ensure that IP routing information is current within the customer’s network and that the proper path is selected for routing traffic back to the remote location.

In order to advertise remote networks back into the Customer’s IGP and also retract such advertisements, OSPF is used to establish adjacencies through redundant paths.  When one adjacency is terminated at the far end, the remote network is no longer advertised from that router.  Using dual IPSec tunnels terminating at disparate far end routers, primary and secondary paths can be identified on both end.  This satisfies the router redundancy issue for connectivity. 

To provide link redundancy, the 600 Series controller can utilized a primary and backup uplink functionality.  Unfortunately, these links are not active simultaneously.  Link redundancy will be solved by specifying uplink priorities.  When the primary link loses connectivity, the secondary wired link will activate the link to the second ISP and the IPSec tunnels can be reestablished through the internet.

The following configuration snippet will set up IPSec tunnels and OSPF adjacencies from the remote office.  The additional snippets identify the two termination points or Aruba Controllers.  The network is static, but as long the terminating routers or Aruba Controllers are statically addressed, the 600 controller can be DHCP addressed.

  This actually works in our favor by allowing the remote office to initiate the tunnels to the termination points when the uplink is activated.  The test involved static addressing, but when using dual uplinks, the recommendation is to us DHCP on the dual links.  This means that only two IPSec tunnels need to be configured since the remote endpoints are dynamic and it does not matter when the second uplink comes up with a different IP address.  An important note to remember is that only one endpoint can be a  dynamically addressed host and the FDQN parameter must match at both ends.

  The OSPF adjacencies are established through GRE tunnels encapsulated in the IPSec. 

 

 

 



Solution:

Solution is to provide redundancy in a remote location when using 600 series controller and to ensure IP routing info is current and proper path is selected for routing traffic back to remote location.
