DMVPN/RIPv2 Scaling ASR1k

[u403185]

Dear community,

we have a DMVPN environment running about 20.000 tunnels , Hub-Spoke (of course).

Due to dependencies on 3rd party routers we are still forced to use RIPv2 as the routing protocol between Spokes and Hub.

Now I am facing the question which performance an ASR1001 can provide with DMVPN(ipsec)/Ripv2.

Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4S

Cisco officially announces performance and scalabitlity information for DMVPN/BGP or DMVPN/EIGRP which

has a maximum of 4000

I hope that someone has similar environments...

Thanks in advance

Maik

Hi

I think very low possibility you will see a network with this size of tunnels uses rip !

I would suggest you to do a poc/ lab test or try to contact cisco or local cisco partner for official confirmation

Hope this help

Hi Marwanshawi,

thanks for your reply. At least i know one network getting close to this dimension and using rip.

Officially and that is my problem no one knows if Cisco ever tested this with RIP.

But there are still some Cisco Contact left...

Thanks and regards

Maik
