VPN between peers with dynamic IP address and dynamic DNS Diego Balgera 02-04-2008

Hi,

I have 2 Cisco 8xx routers, both with an ethernet (internal) and ADSL
(external) interfaces. The IP address given to the ADSL interface is
dynamic, negotiated via PPP to a dialer interface, a configuration from a
typical ISP.
Both external dynamic IP addresses are known with a fully qualified domain
name via dynamic DNS that I set up already.

Now I would like to set up a VPN between these 2 routers to connect the 2
internal networks together: I set up the VPN using their IP addresses
(crypto policy, crypto transform-set, crypto map) and it works like a charm
until I reboot the router and the IP address will change. I need to solve
this using the dynamic DNS names instead, but all my attempts to set up the
configuration using the dynamic DNS names failed so far ... :-(

Can you please suggest a configuration sample or a document showing how to
configure the VPN using the dynamic DNS names as VPN peers?

Thank you in advance!
Best regards.
Diego.

I would be very surprised if that capability exists

Suggest you open a case with the Cisco TAC

Hi Diego,

Well thats about the same challenge I face. If you have found a solution or
even if TAC tells you that it wont work I would really appreciate it to
read about your experiences.

Thanks...Andy

this manufacturer claims to be able to support dynamic-to-dynamic DNS
IPSEC tunnels


http://www.multitech.com/DOCUMENTS/Collateral/data_sheets/498.asp


Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) Feature The SOHO RouteFinder's FQDN
feature allows you to utilize a static name in the IPSec VPN setup,
like "branchoffice.dyndns.org", instead of a dynamic IP address, to
create static-to-dynamic or dynamic-to-dynamic VPN IPSec tunnels.

You'd need to work some magic using kron/EEM/Tcl or similar.

For example, have a kron job fire every n minutes. Check to see if
the DNS name of interest matches the peer's actual address. If not,
reconfigure things.
