Understanding Hub-and-Spoke VPNs

If you create two VPN tunnels that terminate at a device, you can set up a pair of routes so that the device directs traffic exiting one tunnel to the other tunnel. If both tunnels are contained within a single zone, you do not need to create a policy to permit the traffic to pass from one tunnel to the other. You only need to define the routes. Such an arrangement is known as hub-and-spoke VPN. (See Figure 47.)

You can also configure multiple VPNs and route traffic between any two tunnels.

Note: SRX Series devices support only the route-based hub-and-spoke feature.
