Introduction: This document describes process of creating a LAN to LAN tunnel between 2 routers when both routers have a dynamic IP address.
Hardware: Cisco Router
Software: 12.4
DDNS registration for both sites
In order to achieve this we need to get Dynamic DNS(DDNS) registered name for both sites from ISP. So once we have DDNS configured for both sites, then every minute it will change the tunnel destination to what ever IP address, DDNS name will be used for the remote site.
Instead of crypto map we would use crypto Profile using VTI so that tunnels get automatically re establish. The beauty of Profile is that you can run Routing Protocols through it and you don't have to constantly change the crypto maps, every time you change network topology.
So we will make use of event manager to implement DDNS----
event manager applet change-tunnel-dest
event timer cron name "CHRON" cron-entry "* * * * *"
action 1.0 cli command "enable"
action 1.1 cli command "configure terminal"
action 1.2 cli command "interface tunnel199"
action 1.3 cli command "tunnel destination remotevpn.gotdns.com"
The "* * * * *" in the event timer is "minute hour day month weekday". So "* * * * *" means every minute update it.
In Tunnel destination, it is an IP address, not a HOSTNAME that gets stored, but when you configure it, you can put in a HOSTNAME and it will convert it at the time you are configuring it to an IP.
So if you type:
config terminal
interface tunnel100
tunnel destination remote.dyndns.com
exit
And then--
show run int tunnel100
It shows:
interface Tunnel100
tunnel destination 75.67.43.79
That is why the event manager goes and changes the tunnel destination every minute to what ever the DDNS says the new IP is.
