redundant VPN Tunnel

Oct 02, 2006 0 Replies

I am setting up a redundant a l2l VPN tunnel between PIX and 2 VPN concentrators, here is the diagram



VPN Concentrator 1 -------------| (ip address 1.1.1.1) (Active) |-----> Router Internet | PIX (ip address 3.3.3.3) VPN Concentrator 2 -------------| (ip address 1.1.1.2) (Standby)



VPN concentrator 1 and 2 is from the same company, with different ip addresses, both are tunneled to pix, where VPN concentrator 1 is active, and 2 is standby:



I created crypto map with higher priority number to the Standby VPN tunnel, but use exact same ACL:



crypto ipsec transform-set tSet-3des esp-3des esp-md5-hmac access-list pix2vpn permit ip 3.3.3.0 255.255.255.0 1.1.1.0



255.255.255.0


From Pix :


# To active VPN concentrator



crypto map cmapVPN 10 ipsec-isakmp crypto map cmapVPN 10 match address pix2vpn crypto map cmapVPN 10 set peer 1.1.1.1 crypto map cmapVPN 10 set transform-set tset-3des



# To standby VPN concentrator



crypto map cmapVPN 20 ipsec-isakmp crypto map cmapVPN 20 match address pix2vpn crypto map cmapVPN 20 set peer 1.1.1.2 crypto map cmapVPN 20 set transform-set tset-3des



my question is : will this create a problem if both VPN concentrator's tunnel are up?, thanks
