03/26/2020 58 9319

DESCRIPTION:

This article details how to configure a Site-to-Site VPN between AWS and SonicWall using Tunnel interface and Applying a Route map to influence the incoming and outgoing traffic.

 Below is the Schema used for the VPN  tunnel configuration between SonicWall and AWS.

• Configuring the VPN Policy 
• Configuring the Tunnel Interface 
• Configuring the BGP routing
• Configuring the Route-map

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 OUTGOING-RULE in
ARS BGP(config-router)> neighbor 192.168.6.2 route-map INCOMING-RULE out

ip prefix-list 1 OUTGOING-RULE permit 172.16.31.0/24 le 32
ip prefix-list 1 INCOMING-RULE permit 172.16.32.0/24 le 32

!

route-map OUTGOING-RULE permit 10
match ip address prefix-list OUTGOING-RULE
set Local-preference 200
!
route-map INCOMING-RULE permit 10
match ip address prefix-list INCOMING-RULE
set as-path prepend 1000 1000 1000 1000
