Prolog information
  1. Configure the Branch Office as follows:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    • The default gateway is the Internet interface.
    • VPN policy is configured on the Internet interface egress as follows: Traffic from the local GRE tunnel endpoint to the remote GRE tunnel endpoint > encrypt, using IPSec tunnel mode, with the remote peer being the Main Office.
    • An access control list (ACL) is configured on the Internet interface to allow only the VPN tunnel and ICMP traffic. See Configuring hub-and-spoke with VPN for data and VoIP control backup for configuration settings.
      Note:
      For information about using access control lists, see Policy lists.
    • Policy Based Routing (PBR) is configured as follows on VoIP VLAN and loopback interfaces:
      • Destination IP = local subnets > Route: DBR
      • DSCP = bearer > Route: WAN
      • DSCP = control > Route: 1. WAN 2. DBR
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Note:
    For information about PBR, see Policy-based routing section.
  2. Configure the VPN Hub (Main Office) as follows:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    • The VPN policy portion for the branch is configured as a mirror image of the branch
    • The ACL portion for the branch is a mirror image of the branch, with some minor modifications
    • Static routing is configured as follows:
      Branch subnets > Internet interface
    • The PBR portion for the branch is configured as follows, on most interfaces:
      • Destination IP = branch VoIP subnets or GW address (PMI), DSCP = bearer > Route: WAN
      • Destination IP = branch VoIP subnets or GW address (PMI), DSCP = control > Route: 1. WAN 2. DBR
    • ACM is configured to route voice calls through PSTN when the main VoIP trunk is down.
