VPN and Clustering

Site-to-site VPN is a centralized feature; only the control node supports VPN connections.

Note

Remote access VPN is not supported with clustering.

VPN functionality is limited to the control node and does not take advantage of the cluster high availability capabilities. If the control node fails, all existing VPN connections are lost, and VPN users will see a disruption in service. When a new control node is elected, you must reestablish the VPN connections.

When you connect a VPN tunnel to a Spanned EtherChannel address, connections are automatically forwarded to the control node.

VPN-related keys and certificates are replicated to all nodes.
