Description

 

 

Server Load Balance

When selected, enables the configuration of load balancing on a

 

 

Cisco IOS router that serves as a hub in a multiple hubs

 

 

configuration.

 

 

Server load balancing optimizes performance in a multiple hubs

 

 

configuration, by sharing the workload. In this configuration, the

 

 

DMVPN server hubs share the same tunnel IP and source IP

 

 

addresses, presenting the appearance of a single device to the

 

 

spokes in a VPN topology.

 

 

Enable IP Multicast

When selected, enables multicast transmissions across your GRE

 

 

tunnels.

 

 

IP multicast delivers application source traffic to multiple receivers

 

 

without burdening the source or the receivers, while using a

 

 

minimum of network bandwidth.

 

 

Rendezvous Point

Only available if you selected the Enable IP Multicast check box.

 

 

If required, you can enter the IP address of the interface that will

 

 

serve as the rendezvous point (RP) for multicast transmission.

 

 

Sources send their traffic to the RP. This traffic is then forwarded to

 

 

receivers down a shared distribution tree.

 

 

 

Tunnel Key

 

A number that identifies the tunnel key. The default is 1.

 

 

The tunnel key differentiates between different multipoint GRE

 

 

(mGRE) tunnel Non Broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA) networks.

 

 

All mGRE interfaces in the same NBMA network must use the same

 

 

tunnel key value. If there are two mGRE interfaces on the same

 

 

router, they must have different tunnel key values.

 

 

Note To view the newly created tunnel interfaces in the Router

 

 

Interfaces page, you must rediscover the device inventory

 

 

details after successfully deploying the VPN to the device.
