CameronGUEST
mean, I forgot about that.
CameronGUEST
I talked about how we have our own DMVPN connections that
Network ChuckHOST
are set up
CameronGUEST
between our apartments and how he has his own data center and that kind of stuff and how it's all connected over DMVPN and how we can talk on the phones and all that kind of stuff.
Network ChuckHOST
Yeah, see what I mean? If you can demonstrate passion, that comes off, man.
Network ChuckHOST
That really, really puts your best foot forward.
Network ChuckHOST
Kinda like the one you have at your house right now, or the one I have at my house.
Network ChuckHOST
And we deployed Cisco's DMVPN, Dynamic Multipoint VPN, which is actually what I have deployed at my house right now.
Network ChuckHOST
This bad boy right here is my DMVPN branch router.
Network ChuckHOST
He connects back to my data center and I've got a pretty slick DMVPN connection.
Network ChuckHOST
Now you might already be familiar with the concept of DMVPN, especially if you're studying for your CCNA because it is a topic on there.
Network ChuckHOST
Essentially we securely connect all of our sites across the WAN wide area network.
Network ChuckHOST
Well actually in this case, it's kind of the wild area network because it can get rough out there.
Network ChuckHOST
You can't guarantee a lot of things that you could normally do just on a LAN or like a really reliable MPLS circuit.
Network ChuckHOST
Move on to something more exciting.
Network ChuckHOST
So I jumped into, I think it was... like DMVPN or something or OSPF.
Network ChuckHOST
I came back to IPv6 later when my motivation was a bit higher and it wasn't so dry when I hit it that time.
Network ChuckHOST
Now, the other danger is that your boredom may not just be with one topic.
Network ChuckHOST
Which means I needed more than just remote access VPN, I needed to have like a remote site VPN for wherever I went.
Network ChuckHOST
So now in my lab, I have a remote site that's always me, traveling, and I'm doing DMVPN, which if you're studying for your CCNA, that's a topic they just barely touch on.
Network ChuckHOST
You go CCNP, they show you how to configure some of it, and then CCIE, they really get into the meat of it.
Network ChuckHOST
But it's really, what is DMVPN? It's for remote access for your branches.
Network ChuckHOST
You can have a lot of branches, a lot of sites that connect with Cisco routers back to your home, your hub.
Network ChuckHOST
So let me show you what I have real quick.
Network ChuckHOST
I have a Cisco 881 branch router.
Network ChuckHOST
It's really a branch router that I take with me.
Ethan BanksHOST
We were putting these packets in the tunnel, and then that concept just got expanded.
Ethan BanksHOST
Over time, I ended up working with, uh, DMVPN, which was a, a multi-point GRE tunnel, a GRE tunnel that can go to a whole bunch of different destinations.
Ethan BanksHOST
I think that's basically an overlay.
Ethan BanksHOST
And, and then software-defined WAN came and, uh, like I said, I had a cheat code.
