Hi Johan 

 

The redirect and shortcut commands are used as part of DMVPN phase 3.

 

In the case of DMVPN phase 2, the first packet from a spoke to other spoke
is process switched as there is not valid CEF entry. The spoke sends NHRP
request to the hub and gets the resolution for the spoke's NBMA address.
After the resolution, the CEF table is complete and then CEF switched.

 

 

So you can see a double lookup happening for phase 2. For phase, we should
use "ip ospf network broadcast".

 

 

In the case, DMVPN phase 3, the CEF is complete at beginning itself pointing
towards the Hub. When the spoke sends the traffic to other spoke, it goes
through the hub. With ip nhrp redirect configured, any traffic entering and
leaving the same tunnel interface triggers a redirect.

 

After getting the reidrect,  the spoke sends the NHRP request to spoke
directly and gets the NBMA address. 

 

The nhrp shortcuts is responsible for rewriting the CEF entry for the spoke
address. You can check it using sh ip nhrp.

 

 

For DMVPN phase 3, we should use ip ospf network point to multipoint. 

 

With EIGRP, you no longer need to use "no ip next split-horizon" and also
use summarization.

 

 

 

For your question of using "no ip redirects.

 

Just a guess

 

"ip redirects", sends redirect to the sender, if the router feels that it is
not the best next hop.  Since we have cases, where the spoke sends the
traffic to other spoke through the hub, it might trigger the redirect.
Hence, may be "no ip redirect" is configured to not cause a confusion in the
DMVPN network. DMVPN is NHRP based and hence it does not require ip
redirects. Again, ip nhrp direct is something different. 

 

I think, "no ip redirect" are relevant to the cases where, DMVPN is in
actual hub and spoke scenario i.e., the spoke is connected via frame-relay
and spokes are connected to each other only through hub.

 

 

With regards

Kings

Hi,

 

Please explain the commands in bold:

 

interface Tunnel2456

      ip mtu 1400

      ip nhrp authentication ipexpert

      ip nhrp map 10.24.56.1 192.24.56.2

      ip nhrp map multicast 192.24.56.2

      ip nhrp network-id 2456

      ip nhrp nhs 10.24.56.2

      ip nhrp shortcut

      ip nhrp redirect

      ip ospf network point-to-multipoint

      ip ospf 1 area 0

      tunnel source serial0/1/0

      tunnel mode gre multipoint

 

 

Not part of the above but I have seen it on another config on the cisco
documentation:

What does no ip redirects do?

 

Thanks

 

Johan
