DMVPN Phase 3 Basic Configuration

DMVPN supports three different versions called “phases”. In my first DMVPN lesson I explained the basics and  the DMVPN phase 2 configuration and DMVPN phase 1 configuration lessons explain how to configure the first two phases.

This time, I’ll show you how to configure DMVPN phase 3. We’ll use the following topology for this:

dmvpn-example-topology

We have one hub router and two spoke routers.

Configuration










The configuration of DMVPN phase 3 and 2 is very similar. Let’s start with the following DMVPN phase 2 configuration on all routers:

Hub(config)#interface Tunnel0
Hub(config-if)#ip address 172.16.123.1 255.255.255.0
Hub(config-if)#ip nhrp authentication DMVPN
Hub(config-if)#ip nhrp map multicast dynamic
Hub(config-if)#ip nhrp network-id 1
Hub(config-if)#tunnel source GigabitEthernet0/1
Hub(config-if)#tunnel mode gre multipoint

Spoke1(config)#interface Tunnel0
Spoke1(config-if)#ip address 172.16.123.2 255.255.255.0
Spoke1(config-if)#ip nhrp authentication DMVPN
Spoke1(config-if)#ip nhrp map 172.16.123.1 192.168.123.1
Spoke1(config-if)#ip nhrp map multicast 192.168.123.1
Spoke1(config-if)#ip nhrp network-id 1
Spoke1(config-if)#ip nhrp nhs 172.16.123.1
Spoke1(config-if)#tunnel source GigabitEthernet0/1
Spoke1(config-if)#tunnel mode gre multipoint
Spoke2(config)#interface Tunnel0
Spoke2(config-if)#ip address 172.16.123.3 255.255.255.0
Spoke2(config-if)#ip nhrp authentication DMVPN
Spoke2(config-if)#ip nhrp map 172.16.123.1 192.168.123.1
Spoke2(config-if)#ip nhrp map multicast 192.168.123.1
Spoke2(config-if)#ip nhrp network-id 1
Spoke2(config-if)#ip nhrp nhs 172.16.123.1
Spoke2(config-if)#tunnel source GigabitEthernet0/1
Spoke2(config-if)#tunnel mode gre multipoint

To migrate from DMVPN phase 2 to 3, we only need two commands…here’s the first command:

Hub(config)#interface tunnel 0
Hub(config-if)#ip nhrp redirect

The NHRP redirect command on the hub will inform spoke routers that they can reach another spoke router directly. The second command is needed on the spoke routers:

  3. Hello Rene,
    First, thanks for your great job! it’s really simple to understand

    I have a problem with the configuration of the phase 3 DMVPN in GNS3. Since i type the 'ip nhrp redirect’command, i have te following error message ‘% NHRP-WARNING: ‘ip nhrp redirect’ failed to initialise’
    Could you please tell me why? I use the 7200 ios version 15.2.

    Thanks for your reply

  4. Hi Renee!
    Great lesson as always

    I was just wondering what about the “ip nhrp server-only” what is the purpose of the command??
