Cause

A route map can utilize access-lists, prefix-lists, as-path access lists, and community lists to create an effective route policy.

Resolution

STEP 1: Go to Manage | VPN | Base Settings and click on Add. The VPN Policy window is displayed.

General tab:

Policy type: Tunnel Interface

Auth method: IKE using Preshared Secret

Local/Peer IKE ID: IPv4 Address

Note: When configuring a Numbered Tunnel Interface VPN, do not select "Allow Advance Routing" in the VPN Policy Advance tab. This option is use for Unnumbered Tunnel Interface with Advance Routing only.

NOTE: The Proposals tab must be identical on the Tunnel Interface VPNs for both appliances and should Bind with X1 and X2.

STEP 2: Configuring the Tunnel Interface.

Go to Manage | Network | Interfaces, under Add Interface field, select VPN Tunnel Interface to create the VPN tunnel interfaces on both appliances.

STEP 3: Configure BGP using CLI.

 

Config terminal

 

config#  routing  / Enter to Routing Module

 

(config-routing)#  bgp / Enter to BGP module

 

ARS BGP> configure terminal / Enter configure mode

ARS BGP(config)> router bgp 65530/ Set up AS number on SonicWALL

ARS BGP(config-router)> neighbor 192.168.5.2 remote-as 65532 / Configure neighbor connection

ARS BGP(config-router)> neighbor 192.168.6.2 remote-as 65531 / Configure neighbor connection

ARS BGP(config-router)> neighbor 192.168.5.2 soft-reconfiguration inbound

ARS BGP(config-router)> neighbor 192.168.6.2 soft-reconfiguration inbound

ARS BGP(config-router)> network 172.16.32.0/24/ Advertise your network

 

STEP 4: Configure BGP using CLI and Sending the  outgoing traffic via Tunnel  1 and receiving  the incoming traffic via Tunnel 1.

 

ARS BGP(config-router)> neighbor 192.168.5.2 route-map to31 in

ARS BGP(config-router)> neighbor 192.168.6.2 route-map to32 out

 

ip prefix-list 1 to31 permit 172.16.31.0/24 

ip prefix-list 1 to32 permit 172.16.32.0/24 

!

route-map to31 permit 10

match ip address prefix-list to31

set Local-preference 200

!

route-map to32 permit 10

match ip address prefix-list to32

set as-path prepend 1000 1000 1000 1000
