Best way to setup IPSec Tunnel with multiple VLANs at each end

Hi All,

I am currently implementing an IPSec Tunnel between two XG125s (firmare SFOS 17.5.7 MR-7) that has multiple VLANs at each end:

Head Office:

VLAN10: Data

VLAN100: Voice

Branch Office:

VLAN11: Data

VLAN101: Voice

I currently have the tunnel setup and stable with the following IPSec and Firewall config:

Head Office IPSec Local Subnet: Head Office Data Range, Head office Voice Range

Head Office IPSec Remote Subnet: Branch Office Data Range, Branch Office Voice Range 

Head Office Firewall Rule:

Source: Zone: Any; Networks: Head Office Data Range, Head Office Voice Range, Branch Office Data Range, Branch Office Voice Range 

Destination: Zone: Any; Networks: Head Office Data Range, Head Office Voice Range, Branch Office Data Range, Branch Office Voice Range

 

Branch Office IPSec Local Subnet: Branch Office Data Range, Branch Office Voice Range

Branch Office IPSec Remote Subnet: Head Office Data Range, Head office Voice Range

Branch Office Firewall Rule:

Source: Any; Networks: Head Office Data Range, Head Office Voice Range, Branch Office Data Range, Branch Office Voice Range

Destination: Zone: Any; Networks: Head Office Data Range, Head Office Voice Range, Branch Office Data Range, Branch Office Voice Range

 

I know the above setup is a bit "loose" in terms of security at the moment, but I want to iron out any kinks before applying a higher level of security.

 

So, my questions are:

1. Is it better to have two tunnels (one for Voice and one for Data) between the two offices?

2. I am pretty sure the answers is Yes, but should I have separate firewall rules for ingress and egress on each of the subnets connected to the tunnel?

3. From a QOS point of view, how can I apply QOS so that the Voice tunnel traffic takes precedence over Data Tunnel traffic?

4. Any other useful tips for a connection like this?

 

Thanks for your time and insights.

Regards

Mike

  • Hi Keyur,

    Thanks for the link to the article. This is what I needed to find.

    I think in my situation (which is pretty simple), I will have one tunnel with with two firewall rules at each end. I think that this way I can apply QOS successfully to the VOIP side to guarantee bandwidth.

     

    Thanks

    Regards
