SD-WAN VPN Clusters
Associate SD-WAN hubs and branches within a VPN cluster.
In a hub-spoke topology, associate SD-WAN branch
firewalls with one or more SD-WAN hubs to enable secure communication
between the branch and hub locations. In a full mesh topology (
SD-WAN
Plugin 2.0.1 and later 2.0 releases
), associate SD-WAN branch
firewalls with each other (and optionally with SD-WAN hubs). When
you associate branches and hubs in an SD-WAN VPN cluster, the firewall
creates the required IKE and IPSec VPN connections between the sites
based on the type of VPN cluster you specify.
|
| Add up to 20 IP address
ranges (IP network with netmask) that Panorama draws from to use
as VPN tunnel IP addresses. Panorama draws from the largest range
first, then from the next largest range. A VPN cluster member will
get its IP address from the VPN address pool (the ranges) you provide.
You must configure at least one entry.
If
you upgrade from an earlier SD-WAN plugin, you must check that the
ranges in the VPN Address Pool are still correct. If not, enter
new ranges. After you Commit, all tunnels will be dropped for new
tunnels, so do this when cluster members are not busy. |
|
| Enter a Name that
identifies the VPN cluster. |
| Select the Type of
SD-WAN VPN cluster: Hub-Spoke —SD-WAN
topology where a centralized firewall at a primary office or location
acts as a gateway between branches connected using a VPN connection.
Traffic between branches passes through the hub before continuing
to the target branch. Mesh ( SD-WAN Plugin 2.0.1 and later
2.0 releases )—SD-WAN topology that uses hubs and branches,
but allows branch devices to communicate with each other directly.
|
| Add branches to associate
with each other (in a full mesh cluster) or add one or more branches
to associate with one or more hubs (in a hub-spoke or full mesh
cluster). |
| In the Branches window, Group
HA Peers to sequentially display branches that are HA
peers. |
| In the Gateways window, Add one
or more hubs to associate with one or more branches. |
| For any new or previously existing VPN cluster
that has more than one hub, in the Gateways window you must prioritize
the hubs to determine that traffic be sent to a particular hub and
to determine the subsequent hub failover order. A cluster supports
a maximum of four hubs. Select a hub and click in the Hub Failover
Priority field. Enter a priority (range is 1 to 4) of
the hub. The plugin internally maps the priority to a BGP
local preference value; the lower the priority value, the higher
the priority and local preference. Priority 1 maps to
local preference 250. Priority 2 maps to local preference 200. Priority 3 maps to local preference 150. Priority 4 maps to local preference 100.
Multiple
hubs can have the same priority; an HA pair must have the same priority.
Panorama uses the branch’s BGP template to push the local preference of
the hubs to the branches in the cluster. If multiple hubs
in the cluster have the same priority, Panorama enables ECMP in
two places on each branch firewall to determine how branches select
the path. ECMP is enabled for the virtual router () and ECMP Multiple
AS Support is enabled for BGP (). If all hubs in the
cluster have a unique priority, ECMP is disabled on the branches. |
| For a particular SD-WAN hub, select Allow
DIA VPN to allow the hub to participate in DIA AnyPath
failover. A maximum of four hubs in a VPN cluster can participate
in DIA AnyPath. If they are HA hubs, a total of eight hubs are supported.
If you Allow DIA VPN for one HA peer in a pair, you must also enable
it for the other HA peer. |
| In the Gateways window, Group
HA Peers to sequentially display hubs that are HA peers. |
| Hubs and branches uses a strong, random
IKE preshared key to secure VPN tunnels, and each firewall has a
master key that encrypts the preshared key. You can refresh the
IKE preshared key. You must Commit and Push to Devices to push the
key to devices in the cluster.
Refresh IKE Key when
cluster members are not busy. |
