Technical Tip: OSPF with IPsec VPN for network redundancy

Description

 

This article describes OSPF with IPsec VPN for redundancy.

Scope

 

For version 6.4.3.

Solution

 

This is a sample configuration of using OSPF with IPsec VPN to set up network redundancy.
Route selection is based on OSPF cost calculation.
Configure ECMP or primary/secondary routes by adjusting OSPF path cost.


 
Because the GUI can only complete part of the configuration, using the CLI is recommended.
To configure OSPF with IPsec VPN to achieve network redundancy using the CLI:
  1. Configure the WAN interface and static route.

Each FortiGate has two WAN interfaces connected to different ISPs.
The ISP1 link is for the primary FortiGate and the IPS2 link is for the secondary FortiGate.

Configure HQ1.
 
config system interface
    edit "port1"
        set alias to_ISP1
        set ip 172.16.200.1 255.255.255.0
    next
    edit "port2"
        set alias to_ISP2
        set ip 172.17.200.1 255.255.255.0
    next
end

config router static
    edit 1
        set gateway 172.16.200.3
        set device "port1"
    next
    edit 2
        set gateway 172.17.200.3
        set device "port2"
        set priority 100
    next
end
 
Configure HQ2.
 
config system interface
    edit "port25"
        set alias to_ISP1
        set ip 172.16.202.1 255.255.255.0
    next
    edit "port26"
        set alias to_ISP2
        set ip 172.17.202.1 255.255.255.0
    next
end

config router static
    edit 1
        set gateway 172.16.202.2
        set device "port25"
    next
    edit 2
        set gateway 172.17.202.2
        set device "port26"
        set priority 100
    next
end
 
  1. Configure the internal (protected subnet) interface.

Configure HQ1.
 
config system interface
    edit "dmz"
        set ip 10.1.100.1 255.255.255.0
    next
end
 
Configure HQ2.
 
config system interface
    edit "port9"
        set ip 172.16.101.1 255.255.255.0
    next
end
 
  1. Configure IPsec phase1-interface and phase-2 interface. On each FortiGate, configure two IPsec tunnels: a primary and a secondary.

Configure HQ1.
 
config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
    edit "pri_HQ2"
        set interface "port1"
        set peertype any
        set net-device enable
        set proposal aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1
        set remote-gw 172.16.202.1
        set psksecret sample1
    next

    edit "sec_HQ2"
        set interface "port2"
        set peertype any
        set net-device enable
        set proposal aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1
        set remote-gw 172.17.202.1
        set psksecret sample2
    next
end

config vpn ipsec phase2-interface
    edit "pri_HQ2"
        set phase1name "pri_HQ2"
        set proposal aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1 aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128gcm aes256gcm chacha20poly1305
        set auto-negotiate enable
    next
    edit "sec_HQ2"
        set phase1name "sec_HQ2"
        set proposal aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1 aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128gcm aes256gcm chacha20poly1305
        set auto-negotiate enable
    next
end
 
Note: Ensure to keep 0.0.0.0 on local and the remote in Phase 2 tunnel as OSPF will use Multicast IP for Hello packet exchange.
 
Configure HQ2.
 
# config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
    edit "pri_HQ1"
        set interface "port25"
        set peertype any
        set net-device enable
        set proposal aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1
        set remote-gw 172.16.200.1
        set psksecret sample1
    next
    edit "sec_HQ1"
        set interface "port26"
        set peertype any
        set net-device enable
        set proposal aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1
        set remote-gw 172.17.200.1
        set psksecret sample2
    next
end

# config vpn ipsec phase2-interface
    edit "pri_HQ1"
        set phase1name "pri_HQ1"
        set proposal aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1 aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128gcm aes256gcm chacha20poly1305
        set auto-negotiate enable
    next
    edit "sec_HQ1"
        set phase1name "sec_HQ1"
        set proposal aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1 aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128gcm aes256gcm chacha20poly1305
        set auto-negotiate enable
    next
end
 
Note: Ensure to keep 0.0.0.0 on local and the remote in Phase 2 tunnel as OSPF will use Multicast IP for Hello packet exchange.
 
  1. Configure an inbound and outbound firewall policy for each IPsec tunnel.

Configure HQ1.
 
# config firewall policy
    edit 1
        set name "pri_inbound"
        set srcintf "pri_HQ2"
        set dstintf "dmz"
        set srcaddr "172.16.101.0"
        set dstaddr "10.1.100.0"
        set action accept
        set schedule "always"
        set service "ALL"
    next
    edit 2
        set name "pri_outbound"
        set srcintf "dmz"
        set dstintf "pri_HQ2"
        set srcaddr "10.1.100.0"
        set dstaddr "172.16.101.0"
        set action accept

        set dstaddr "172.16.101.0"
        set action accept
        set schedule "always"
        set service "ALL"
    next
end
 
Configure HQ2.
 
config firewall policy
    edit 1
        set name "pri_inbound"
        set srcintf "pri_HQ1"
        set dstintf "port9"
        set srcaddr "10.1.100.0"
        set dstaddr "172.16.101.0"

        set dstaddr "172.16.101.0"
        set action accept
        set schedule "always"
        set service "ALL"
    next
    edit 3
        set name "sec_inbound"
        set srcintf "sec_HQ1"
        set dstintf "port9"
        set srcaddr "10.1.100.0"
        set dstaddr "172.16.101.0"
        set action accept
        set schedule "always"
        set service "ALL"
    next
    edit 4
        set name "sec_outbound"
        set srcintf "port9"
        set dstintf "sec_HQ1"
        set srcaddr "172.16.101.0"
        set dstaddr "10.1.100.0"
        set action accept
        set schedule "always"
        set service "ALL"
    next
end
 
  1. Assign an IP address to the IPsec tunnel interface.

    # config router ospf
        set router-id 1.1.1.1
 
    # config area
        edit 0.0.0.0
        next
    end

    # config ospf-interface
        edit "pri_HQ2"
            set interface "pri_HQ2"
            set cost 10
            set network-type point-to-point
        next
        edit "sec_HQ2"
           set interface "sec_HQ2"
            set cost 20
            set network-type point-to-point
        next
    end

    # config network
        edit 1
            set prefix 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
        next
        edit 2

        edit 3
            set prefix 10.1.100.0 255.255.255.0
        next
    end
end
 
Configure HQ2.
 
# config router ospf
    set router-id 2.2.2.2
 
    # config area
        edit 0.0.0.0
        next
    end

    # config ospf-interface
       edit "pri_HQ1"
            set interface "pri_HQ1"
            set cost 10
            set network-type point-to-point
        next
        edit "sec_HQ1"
            set interface "sec_HQ1"
            set cost 20
            set network-type point-to-point
        next
    end
 
    # config network
        edit 1
            set prefix 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
        next
        edit 2

        next
        edit 3
            set prefix 172.16.101.0 255.255.255.0
        next
    end
end

  1. Run the HQ1 # get router info ospf neighbor command. The system should return the following:
 
OSPF process 0, VRF 0:
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
2.2.2.2 1. Full/ - 00:00:37 10.10.10.2 pri_HQ2
2.2.2.2 1. Full/ - 00:00:32 10.10.11.2 sec_HQ2
 
  1. Run the HQ1 # get router info routing-table ospf command. The system should return the following:
 
Routing table for VRF=0
O 172.16.101.0/24 [110/20] via 10.10.10.2, pri_HQ2 , 00:03:21
In case the primary tunnel is down after route convergence.
5. Run the HQ1 # get router info routing-table ospf command. The system should return the following:

Routing table for VRF=0
O 172.16.101.0/24 [110/110] via 10.10.11.2, sec_HQ2 , 00:00:01
