Hello Everyone,

I have an assignment to do but due few confusion I couldn't do it properly. Can somebody help me to Finalize this topology. I have designed the topology and provided some information about my requirement.

Thanks in advance,

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

as far as I can tell, none of your devices has an IP address configured yet. You are at least a couple of hours away from finishing this project. What specifically do you need assistance with ?

[khalid731]

Thanks for the replay. yes Sir I didn't assigned IP addresses to any of these devices because I need to configure DHCP pool in DHCP server with different subnet for every branch, so end users will get their IP address from there (every branch need to have different Vlan and IP will be distributed by the help of IP helper).

And if I talk about the requirement, I want to connect these branch through P2P Dmvpn and also to configure load balancing between backbone network and branches. 

I think this is to much but you will help me to much as well.

if this packet tracer, i don't have that to test.

But as per the theory you mentioned,

yes, you need to set up a HUB and Spoke - and spoke will establish a connection with Hub, and Spoke side Switch has DHCP relay to get IP from Hub DHCP Server, of underlay and overlay VPN working.

Hello,

I assume the Core 1 and Core 2 routers are supposed to be the (dual) hubs for your DMVPN network ? Again, it will take several hours to configure everything since it basically needs to be done from scratch. I would suggest to start with configuring as much as you can and post back here when you run into specific issues. That said, what is your experience with DMVPN ?

[khalid731]

Yes, it will take time but I am thinking  if I configure its basics then there will be confusion for their advance work. and I am new with VPNs, this is my first project. 

So I can expect you to configure the VPNs, Load Balancing, HSRP and few other prerequisites for our network, the rest I will configure them. 

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I'll see what I can do and send the project file over...

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

I am down to the DMVPN part. Make sure you have Packet Tracer version 7.3.0 installed, as this is the version I am using...

I'll send over the finished file in a while...

[khalid731]

I have the same version.
Thank you :)

[Georg Pauwen]

Hello,

there is no DMVPN support in Packet Tracer at all, so you cannot use that in your project file. I'll send the relevant configs over separately, but you need to test it on some other (live) equipment...

[khalid731]

Cant we go for any other type of VPN?

[Georg Pauwen · Accepted solution]

Hello,

actually, if you are really designing a live network, Packet Tracer (PT) is not a good way to go because it has only limited features. I have attached the revised project file, and got as much working as possible. A lot of things that do work on real devices don't work in PT. 

For the voice part you would use CUCM, are you planning on implementing that ?

Attached also the text file with the DMVPN configs...

[khalid731]

Thank you Sir, this is what I want.

Yes Packet Tracer is not supporting most of the features, but for me this is only a school project I was supposed to do.

again thank you so much and I will disturb you with few more modifications.
