DMVPN Basic

Summary: DMVPN stands for Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network. DMVPN is used to create a hub-and-spoke VPN architecture. DMVPN Phase 1 provides hub-and-spoke communication. Spoke-to-spoke communication will always traverse the hub router.  DMPVN Phase 2 supports dynamic spoke-to-spoke tunnels (appropriate routing configuration required).  DMVPN Components: mGRE - Multipoint GRE eliminates the need for numerous point-to-point GRE tunnels. NHRP - Next Hop Resolution Protocol, used for mapping the WAN IP address to the GRE tunnel IP address. IPSec - IP Security, used for securing TCP/IP traffic. IPSec is optional but recommended. The Hub maintains a special NHRP database with the public IP Addresses of all configured spokes. Each spoke registers its public IP address with the hub and queries the NHRP database for the public IP address of the destination spoke it needs to build a VPN tunnel. mGRE  Tunnel Interface is used to allow a single GRE interface to support multiple IPSec tun
