Tunnel Templates


Tunnel templates allow a mobile router to carry multicast sessions to mobile networks as it roams. The Tunnel Templates for Multicast feature allows the configuration of multicast sessions on statically created tunnels to be applied to dynamic tunnels brought up on a home agent and a mobile router. A tunnel template is defined and applied to the tunnels between the home agent and the mobile router.

Reverse tunneling must be enabled from the mobile router to the home agent.

The following restrictions apply:

Tunnels cannot be removed if they are being used as templates.

This feature does not support mobile routers that are acting as mobile nodes.

Applying the Tunnel Template on the Home Agent

To apply the tunnel template to the tunnels brought up at the home agent, use the interface tunnel command. For example:

wd>enable
wd>password ! If prompted
wd#configure terminal
wd(config)#ip multicast-routing ! Enables IP multicast routing.
wd(config)#interface tunnel interfacenumber ! Designates a tunnel interface and enters interface configuration mode. This is the tunnel template that will be applied to the mobile networks.
wd(config-in)#ip pim sparse-mode ! Enables Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) on the tunnel interface in sparse mode.
wd(config)#exit
wd(config)#router mobile ! Enables Mobile IP on the router.
wd(config)#ip mobile mobile-networks ! Configures mobile networks for the mobile host and enters mobile networks configuration mode.
wd(config)#tunnel template interfacenumber ! Designates the tunnel template to apply during registration. The interfacenumber argument is set to the tunnel template.
wd(config)#end

Use the show ip mobile tunnel command to display the active tunnels. The following example displays the active Mobile IP tunnels and the template configuration for the tunnel on the home agent:

Router# show ip mobile tunnel

Mobile Tunnels:

Total mobile ip tunnels 2
Tunnel1:
    src 1.1.1.1, dest 20.20.0.1
    encap IP/IP, mode reverse-allowed, tunnel-users 1
    IP MTU 1460 bytes
    Path MTU Discovery, mtu:0, ager:10 mins, expires:never
    outbound interface Tunnel0
    HA created, fast switching enabled, ICMP unreachable enabled
    27 packets input, 2919 bytes, 0 drops
    24 packets output, 2568 bytes
Running template configuration for this tunnel:
ip pim sparse-dense-mode

Tunnel0:
    src 1.1.1.1, dest 30.30.10.2
    encap IP/IP, mode reverse-allowed, tunnel-users 1
    IP MTU 1480 bytes
    Path MTU Discovery, mtu:0, ager:10 mins, expires:never
    outbound interface Ethernet1/3
    HA created, fast switching enabled, ICMP unreachable enabled
    0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 drops
    24 packets output, 3048 bytes

Applying the Tunnel Template on the Mobile Router

To apply the tunnel template to the tunnels brought up at the mobile router, follow this example:

wd>enable
wd>password ! If prompted
wd#configure terminal
wd(config)#ip multicast-routing ! Enables IP multicast routing.
wd(config)#interface tunnel interfacenumber ! Designates a tunnel interface and enters interface configuration mode. This is the tunnel template that will be applied to the mobile networks.
wd(config-in)#ip pim sparse-mode ! Enables Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) on the tunnel interface in sparse mode.
wd(config)#exit
wd(config)#router mobile ! Enables Mobile IP on the router.
wd(config)#ip router mobile ! Enables the mobile router and enters mobile router configuration mode.
wd(config)#tunnel template interfacenumber ! Designates the tunnel template to apply during registration. The interfacenumber argument is set to the tunnel template.
wd(config)#end

Use the show ip mobile tunnel command to display the active tunnels.

Example Configuration

In the following example configuration, a tunnel template is defined and configured to be brought up at the home agent and mobile router. The foreign agent does not require any additional configuration to support the Cisco Mobile Networks—Tunnel Templates for Multicast feature.

Applying Tunnel Templates to the IPSec Two-box Solution

Configuring IPSec in conjunction with Cisco IOS Mobile Network software requires special attention because the egress interface of the traffic can change and IPSec is typically configured on the egress interface. The previous recommendation had been to configure the crypto map on the loopback interface and to use policy routing to set next hop loopback for all traffic that needed encryption.


Note Applying a crypto map on a loopback interface is not a supported configuration (as documented in CSCdx79795).


Tunnel templates, introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(15)T, add multicast support, but can be used to apply other parameters to the inner tunnel interface. Applying the crypto map to the tunnel template requires the crypto map local-address commands as shown in the following example configuration. The local address should be set to the home address interface. This recommendation eliminates the need for policy routing and allows for all traffic to be Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) switched (which is not supported on loopback interfaces).

To be encrypted, all traffic from the mobile router must be reverse tunneled; the reverse tunnel becomes the egress interface at which the crypto map is applied.

Validating the Configuration

The configuration can be validated by using the show ip mobile router command to identify the tunnel interface that is being used by the mobile router, Then use the show crypto ipsec sa interface tunnel n command to verify that the relevant SAs are active. The important sections have been emphasized in the following sample output.
