Route-Based Site-to-Site VPN to Azure (BGP over IKEv2/IPsec)
------------------------------------------------------------

This guide shows an example of a route-based IKEv2 site-to-site VPN to
Azure using VTI and BGP for dynamic routing updates.

For redundant / active-active configurations see
:ref:`examples-azure-vpn-dual-bgp`


Prerequisites
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- A pair of Azure VNet Gateways deployed in active-passive
  configuration with BGP enabled.

- A local network gateway deployed in Azure representing
  the Vyos device, matching the below Vyos settings except for
  address space, which only requires the Vyos private IP, in
  this example 10.10.0.5/32

- A connection resource deployed in Azure linking the
  Azure VNet gateway and the local network gateway representing
  the Vyos device.

Vyos configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Configure the IKE and ESP settings to match a subset
  of those supported by Azure:

.. code-block:: none

  set vpn ipsec esp-group AZURE compression 'disable'
  set vpn ipsec esp-group AZURE lifetime '3600'
  set vpn ipsec esp-group AZURE mode 'tunnel'
  set vpn ipsec esp-group AZURE pfs 'dh-group2'
  set vpn ipsec esp-group AZURE proposal 1 encryption 'aes256'
  set vpn ipsec esp-group AZURE proposal 1 hash 'sha1'

  set vpn ipsec ike-group AZURE dead-peer-detection action 'restart'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group AZURE dead-peer-detection interval '15'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group AZURE dead-peer-detection timeout '30'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group AZURE ikev2-reauth 'yes'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group AZURE key-exchange 'ikev2'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group AZURE lifetime '28800'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group AZURE proposal 1 dh-group '2'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group AZURE proposal 1 encryption 'aes256'
  set vpn ipsec ike-group AZURE proposal 1 hash 'sha1'

- Enable IPsec on eth0

.. code-block:: none

  set vpn ipsec ipsec-interfaces interface 'eth0'

- Configure a VTI with a dummy IP address

.. code-block:: none

  set interfaces vti vti1 address '10.10.1.5/32'
  set interfaces vti vti1 description 'Azure Tunnel'

- Clamp the VTI's MSS to 1350 to avoid PMTU blackholes.

.. code-block:: none

  set firewall options interface vti1 adjust-mss 1350

- Configure the VPN tunnel

.. code-block:: none

  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 authentication id '198.51.100.3'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 authentication mode 'pre-shared-secret'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 authentication pre-shared-secret 'ch00s3-4-s3cur3-psk'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 authentication remote-id '203.0.113.2'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 connection-type 'respond'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 description 'AZURE PRIMARY TUNNEL'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 ike-group 'AZURE'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 ikev2-reauth 'inherit'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 local-address '10.10.0.5'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 vti bind 'vti1'
  set vpn ipsec site-to-site peer 203.0.113.2 vti esp-group 'AZURE'

- **Important**: Add an interface route to reach Azure's BGP listener

.. code-block:: none

  set protocols static interface-route 10.0.0.4/32 next-hop-interface vti1

- Configure your BGP settings

.. code-block:: none

  set protocols bgp 64499 neighbor 10.0.0.4 remote-as '65540'
  set protocols bgp 64499 neighbor 10.0.0.4 address-family ipv4-unicast soft-reconfiguration 'inbound'
  set protocols bgp 64499 neighbor 10.0.0.4 timers holdtime '30'
  set protocols bgp 64499 neighbor 10.0.0.4 timers keepalive '10'

- **Important**: Disable connected check \

.. code-block:: none

  set protocols bgp 64499 neighbor 10.0.0.4 disable-connected-check
