Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN)
 Do not follow instructions here until this notice is removed. |
http://alpinelinux.org/about under Why the Name Alpine? states: [ref?]
The first open-source implementation of Cisco's DMVPN, called OpenNHRP, was written for Alpine Linux.
So the aim of this document is to be the reference Linux DMVPN setup, with all the networking services needed for the clients that will use the DMVPN (DNS, DHCP, firewall, etc.).
Terminology
NBMA: Non-Broadcast Multi-Access network as described in RFC 2332
Hub: the Next Hop Server (NHS) performing the Next Hop Resolution Protocol service within the NBMA cloud.
Spoke: the Next Hop Resolution Protocol Client (NHC) which initiates NHRP requests of various types in order to obtain access to the NHRP service.
Extract Certificates
We will use certificates for DMVPN and for OpenVPN (RoadWarrior clients). Here are the general purpose instruction for extracting certificates from pfx files:
openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -cacerts -nokeys -out cacert.pem openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -nocerts -nodes -out serverkey.pem openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pfx -nokeys -clcerts -out cert.pem
Remember to set appropriate permission for your certificate files:
chmod 600 *.pem *.pfx
Spoke Node
A local spoke node network has support for multiple ISP connections, along with redundant layer 2 switches. At least one 802.1q capable switch is required, and a second is optional for redundancy purposes. The typical spoke node network looks like:
Alpine Setup
We will setup the network interfaces as follows:
bond0.3 = Management (not implemented below yet)
bond0.8 = LAN
bond0.64 = DMZ
bond0.80 = Voice (not implemented below yet)
bond0.96 = Internet Access Only (no access to the DMVPN network)(not implemented below yet)
bond0.256 = ISP1
bond0.257 = ISP2
Boot Alpine in diskless mode and run setup-alpine

Bonding
Update the bonding configuration:
echo bonding mode=balance-tlb miimon=100 updelay=500 >> /etc/modules
Physically install
At this point, you're ready to connect the VPN Spoke Node to the network if you haven't already done so. Please set up an 802.1q capable switch with the VLANs listed in AlpineSetup section. Once done, tag all of the VLANs on one port. Connect that port to eth0. Then, connect your first ISP's CPE to a switchport with VLAN 256 untagged.
SSH
Remove password authentication and DNS reverse lookup:
sed -i "s/.PasswordAuthentication yes/PasswordAuthentication no/" /etc/ssh/sshd_config sed -i "s/.UseDNS yes/UseDNS no/" /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Recursive DNS
apk add -U unbound
With your favorite editor open /etc/unbound/unbound.conf and add the following configuration. If you have a domain that you want unbound to resolve but is internal to your network only, the stub-zone stanza is present:
server:

Start unbound:
/etc/init.d/unbound start rc-update add unbound echo nameserver 10.1.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf
Local DNS Zone
If you have a DNS zone that is only resolvable internally to your network, you will need a 2nd IP address on your LAN interface, and use NSD to host the zone.
First, add the following to the end of the bond0.8 stanza in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto bond0.8
...
...
up ip addr add 10.1.0.2/24 dev bond0.8
Then, install nsd:
apk add nsd
Create /etc/nsd/nsd.conf:
server:
ip-address: 10.1.0.2
port: 53
server-count: 1
ip4-only: yes
hide-version: yes
identity: ""
zonesdir: "/etc/nsd"
zone:
name: location1.example.net
zonefile: location1.example.net.zone
Create zonefile in /etc/nsd/location1.example.net.zone:
;## location1.example.net authoritative zone
$ORIGIN location1.example.net.
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns1.location1.example.net. webmaster.location1.example.net. (

Check configuration then start:

GRE Tunnel
With your favorite editor open /etc/network/interfaces and add the following:

apk add ipsec-tools
With your favorite editor create /etc/ipsec.conf and set the content to the following:

mkdir /etc/racoon/
Extract your pfx into /etc/racoon, using the filenames ca.pem, cert.pem, and key.pem.
With your favorite editor create /etc/racoon/racoon.conf and set the content to the following:

ISP Failover
apk add pingu echo -e "1\tisp1">> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables echo -e "2\tisp2">> /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
Configure pingu to monitor our bond0.256 and bond0.257 interfaces in /etc/pingu/pingu.conf. Add the hosts to monitor for ISP failover to /etc/pingu/pingu.conf and bind to primary ISP. We also set the ping timeout to 4 seconds.:
timeout 4
required 2
retry 11
interface bond0.256 {
# route-table must correspond with mark in /etc/awall/optional/mark.json
route-table 1
fwmark 1
rule-priority 20000
# google dns
ping 8.8.8.8
# opendns
ping 208.67.222.222
}
interface bond0.257 {
# route-table must correspond with mark in /etc/awall/optional/mark.json
route-table 2
fwmark 2
rule-priority 20000
}
Make sure we can reach the public IP from our LAN by adding static route rules for our private net(s). Edit /etc/pingu/route-rules:
to 10.0.0.0/8 table main prio 1000 to 172.16.0.0/12 table main prio 1000
Start pingu:
/etc/init.d/pingu start rc-update add pingu
Now, if both hosts stop responding to pings, ISP-1 will be considered down and all gateways via bond0.256 will be removed from main route table. Note that the gateway will not be removed from the route table '1'. This is so we can continue try ping via bond0.256 so we can detect that the ISP is back online. When ISP starts working again, the gateways will be added back to main route table again.

Troubleshooting the DMVPN
Broken Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD)
ISPs afraid of ICMP (which is somehow legitimate) just blindly add no ip unreachables in their router interfaces, effectively creating a blackhole router that breaks PMTUD, since ICMP Type 3 Code 4 packets (Fragmentation Needed) are dropped. PMTUD is needed by ISAKMP that runs on UDP (TCP works because it uses CLAMPMSS).
For technical details see http://packetlife.net/blog/2008/oct/9/disabling-unreachables-breaks-pmtud/
PMTUD could also be broken due to badly configured DSL modem/routers or bugged firmware.
You can easily detect which host is the blackhole router by pinging with DF bit set and with packets of standard MTU size, each hop given in your traceroute to destination:
ping -M do -s 1472 %IP%
iputils packageIf you don't get a response back (either Echo-Response or Fragmentation-Needed) there's firewall dropping ICMP packets. If it answers to normal ping packets (DF bit cleared), most likely you have hit a blackhole router.
