Explore GRE tunnels: create point-to-point virtual links, note their default lack of encryption, and consider adding security on top of GRE while supporting IPv6 and multicast.
Dmvpn uses multipoint gre and nhrp to build dynamic hub-and-spoke tunnels with multipoint connections and dynamic neighbor discovery, routing for lan-to-lan communication, and optional ipsec for secure, scalable sites.
Explore DMVPN mGRE tunnels, contrasting point-to-point tunnels with multipoint configurations, and learn how tunnel source, endpoint, and static or dynamic public IPs shape dynamic site discovery via IP protocols.
Configure EIGRP over DMVPN tunnels to enable LAN communication. Enable multicast on the tunnel interface with mapping options, and verify neighbor adjacencies and routing table reachability.
Dmvpn phase 2 reveals multipoint dynamic tunnels for spoke-to-spoke communication. Learn to configure tunnel ip addresses, tunnel source, and next-hop requirements to establish and verify these tunnels.
Explore DMVPN phase 3 tunnel configuration, showing that the basic setup mirrors phase 2, with multiple tunnels and remote interfaces, and verifying router configurations across spokes.
