VPN spoke general configuration steps
A remote VPN peer that is functioning as a spoke requires the following configuration:
• A tunnel (AutoIKE phase 1 and phase 2 configuration or manual key configuration)
for the hub.
• The source address of the local VPN spoke.
• The destination address of each remote VPN spoke.
• A separate outbound encrypt policy for each remote VPN spoke. These policies
allow the local VPN spoke to initiate encrypted connections.
• A single inbound encrypt policy. This policy allows the local VPN spoke to accept
encrypted connections.
To create a VPN spoke configuration:
1 Configure a tunnel between the spoke and the hub.
Choose between a manual key tunnel or an AutoIKE tunnel.
• To add a manual key tunnel, see “Manual key IPSec VPNs” on page 183.
• To add an AutoIKE tunnel, see: “AutoIKE IPSec VPNs” on page 185.
2 Add the source address. One source address is required for the local VPN spoke.
See “Adding a source address” on page 197.
3 Add a destination addresses for each remote VPN spoke. The destination address is
the address of the spoke (either a client on the Internet or a network located behind a
gateway).
See “Adding a destination address” on page 197
4 Add a separate outbound encrypt policy for each remote VPN spoke. These policies
control the encrypted connections initiated by the local VPN spoke.
The encrypt policy must include the appropriate source and destination addresses
and the tunnel added in step 1. Use the following configuration:
See “Adding an encrypt policy” on page 197.
5 Add an inbound encrypt policy. This policies controls the encrypted connections
initiated by the remote VPN spokes.
The encrypt policy for the hub must include the appropriate source and destination
addresses and the tunnel added in step 1. Use the following configuration:
Source The local VPN spoke address.
Destination The remote VPN spoke address.
