VPN Community Use Cases
Q1:
A system administrator is responsible for 6 gateways and wants to share network resources between
the satellite branches. Which type of VPN community is preferable?
A1:
A star VPN community is preferable as every gateway does not have to create a VPN tunnel with all of
the others. Instead, the 5 satellite peer gateways will each create one site to site star VPN community to the
center gateway. Only the star gateway (center) must create a site to site from itself to each of the remote
peers.
Q2:
A center gateway handles all the traffic in the VPN community. When the gateway reboots, all the other
gateways' internet traffic is affected, and they lose access to the remote peer encryption domain until the
center gateway comes back up. How can the administrator avoid this downtime?
A2:
In this case, a mesh community is better as each gateway can handle its own internet traffic and is not
affected by any other gateway.
