Auto-Discovery VPN (ADVPN) allows dynamically established IPsec tunnels between spokes (branch offices) in a Hub-and-Spoke architecture. This avoids routing traffic through the Hub, improving latency and reducing overhead.
Configure the phase 1 interface on the Hub firewall to listen for connections and enable auto-discovery sender:
config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
edit "advpn-hub"
set type dynamic
set interface "wan1"
set ike-version 2
set peertype any
set net-device enable
set proposal aes256-sha256
set add-route disable
set auto-discovery-sender enable
next
end
To ensure dynamic route exchange across the tunnels, IBGP is recommended. Configure BGP neighbors on the tunnel interfaces and ensure route reflectors are set up appropriately at the Hub site.
