This is a lab item in which tasks will be performed on virtual devices.

• Refer to the Tasks tab to view the tasks for this lab item.
• Refer to the Topology tab to access the device console(s) and perform the tasks.
• Console access is available for all required devices by clicking the device icon or using the tab(s) above the console window.
• All necessary preconfigurations have been applied.
• Do not change the enable password or hostname for any device.
• Do not replace existing routing policies or configurations.
• Save your configurations to NVRAM before moving to the next item.
• Click Next at the bottom of the screen to submit this lab and move to the next question.
• When Next is clicked, the lab closes and cannot be reopened.

Tasks
-

A DMVPN network is preconfigured with tunnel 0 IP address 192.168.1.254 on the HUB, IP connectivity, crypto policies, profiles, and EIGRP AS 100. The NHRP password is cсnp123, and the network ID and tunnel key is EIGRP ASN. Do not introduce a static route. Configure DMVPN connectivity between routers BR1 and BR2 to the HUB router using physical interface as the tunnel source to achieve these goals:

1. Configure NHRP authentication, static IP-to-NBMA address maps, hold time 5 minutes, network ID, and server on branch router BR1.
2. Configure NHRP authentication, static IP-to-NBMA address maps, hold time 5 minutes, network ID, and server on branch router BR2.
3. Ensure that packet fragmentation is done before encryption to account for GRE and IPsec header and allow a maximum TCP segment size of 1360 on an IP MTU of 1400 on the tunnel interfaces of both branch routers.
4. Apply an IPsec profile to the tunnel. Verify that direct spoke-to-spoke tunnel is functional between branch routers BR1 and BR2 by using traceroute to Ethernet 0/0 IP address to get a full score.

Sim was the same as here. Did not get full score for this sim on real exam, and could not figure out, what was missing. Still passed the exam. New question: MP-BGP NLRI attributes: RD, IPv4 Prefix, Next Hop, VPN Label https://networklessons.com/mpls/mpls-layer-3-vpn-explained

Had this same lab on the exam, config and provided solution is correct (apart from 'ip nhrp holdtime' - as someone mentioned earlier this needs to be 300 - as it is in seconds. There is no access to the HUB router on the exam, only config on the 2 spokes is needed. both spokes have a pre-configured ipsec profile already, I just applied it to tu0 Config provided by Hungarian dish below is correct

Tryed today exam. Had 3 lab questions, all of those skipped, and it looks like its pretty much impossible to pass the exam without those. So its more like - "maybe its possible" if you will answer all the questions 100% correctlly, but it would be on a very VERY thin line between passing and failing :)

Do you think we will get marked down for including config that is not asked for I.e. IP NHRP shortcut and IP NHRP redirect as it doesn't mention suboptimal paths.

Anyone know if the test allows using 'ip nhrp nhs' like this instead of 'ip nhrp map', ip nhrp map multicast', and 'ip nhrp nhs'? !SPOKES interface Tunnel0 ip address 192.168.100.X 255.255.255.0 ip mtu 1400 ip tcp adjust-mss 1360 ip nhrp authentication CCNP ip nhrp nhs 192.168.100.1 nbma 10.100.255.1 multicast ip nhrp network-id 100 ip nhrp holdtime 300 ip nhrp shortcut tunnel source GigabitEthernet0/1 tunnel mode gre multipoint tunnel key 100 tunnel protection ipsec profile MyPROFILE exit ! !GLOBAL-Check the HUB and modify crypto options ! crypto isakmp policy 1 authentication pre-share ! crypto isakmp key MyKEY address 0.0.0.0 ! crypto ipsec transform-set MyTRANSFORM esp-aes esp-sha-hmac ! crypto ipsec profile MyPROFILE set transform-set MyTRANSFORM ! crypto ipsec df-bit clear crypto ipsec fragmentation before-encrypt

I got this exact sim in the exam and I'm here to confirm that presented answer is almost correct. Just make sure you use the lines below: ip nhrp holdtime 300 (you define the holdtime using seconds) tunnel mode gre multipoint (as the sim asks you to confirm direct communication between Spokes. Static destination is not what you looking for here)

Also, don't forget to add following lines in the global configuration mode as HungarianDish explained. crypto ipsec df-bit clear crypto ipsec fragmentation before-encrypt Because the sim asks you to make sure fragmentation is being done before the encryption with IPSec.

I would like to lab this in CML, but what type of basic configuration does the ISP router need? I always struggle whenever an "ISP" router is put in the topology because I don't know what basic configuration it needs to get it to work.

You can use a layer 2 switch with no config to replicate the connectivity in this scenario

L2 switch in the middle is the best! I saw also different topology in labs (e.g. boson netsim), where a router sits in the middle as ISP, and then static routes are added an all routers to reach each others WAN IPs. It is unnecessary to have such a topology for practicing DMVPN. L2 switch is perfect.

Some correction for transform-set: https://community.cisco.com/t5/vpn/dmvpn-tunnel-versus-transport-mode/td-p/1544252 Transport mode actually is recommended mode for DMVPN, because it saves 20 bytes overhead. crypto ipsec transform-set ciscoset esp-3des mode transport

This document states that we would need "mode tunnel" if we want to do pre-fragmentation. Probably we can leave it in the default mode, which is tunnel. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_conn_dplane/configuration/xe-16-10/sec-ipsec-data-plane-xe-16-10-book/sec-pre-frag-vpns.html Pre-fragmentation for IPsec VPNs operates in IPsec tunnel mode and IPsec tunnel mode with GRE, but not with IPsec transport mode.

Interestingly, "crypto ipsec fragmentation before-encrypt" is never displayed in the running config. Maybe it is due to this bug: CSCsr97396/CSCsh30577.

The task is to create a direct spoke-to-spoke tunnel. So, setting a static tunnel destination on spokes is incorrect. We should use "tunnel mode gre multipoint"

Holdtime seems to be incorrect: ip nhrp holdtime 300 ! Seconds that NHRP NBMA addresses are advertised as valid in positive NHRP responses https://www.ciscozine.com/dmvpn-phase-3-guide/ 5 minutes = 300 seconds
