Feature Request: UI and Config Support for Multiple DMVPN Hub Routers

Hi,

I’m currently working on integrating about 30 RUT955 devices into our existing Cisco DMVPN cloud. Since this cloud uses geo-redundant hub routers, I also would like to be able to configure this setup via the WebUI.

But first of all, I have to give kudos to the developers at Teltonika! The setup itself works like a charm when configured manually in the frr/strongswan configs, the DMVPN patches in strongswan also work flawlessly (a battle I lost a couple of times already trying to build this for OpenWRT myself :sweat_smile:). Also the route exchange via BGP in the overlay using route-maps replicates the behavior and route-policy on our Cisco routers down to a tee. The only problem is that as soon as I make any changes in the user interface, the subsequent config commit reverts all manual changes and I am left with a single hub router again.

In a small proof of concept, I’ve already made some changes to the configuration files and scripts by changing the individual values into lists, so that the changes were at least reboot-safe. But as mentioned above, the changes in the configuration files were overwritten with the single hub version as soon as I made changes via the user interface.

Would it be possible to integrate this customization in the web UI in one of the next versions, and would there also be an update with this feature for our RUT955 routers? I have already read on the info page that this router has reached the end of its lifecycle.

Thanks in advance for your consideration!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and the kind words to our developers.

I’ve inquired about your feature suggestion with our R&D for further analysis. Once I receive any updates or feedback from them regarding the possibility of integrating multi-hub DMVPN configuration support via the WebUI, I’ll promptly get back to you.

Thank you again for your input and patience.

Best regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

According to our R&D team, unfortunately, the RUT955 is an end-of-life (EOL) device, and no new features or WebUI enhancements are planned for it moving forward.

That said, the RUT956 is the direct replacement for the RUT955, and R&D confirmed that this feature has been added to the RUT956 devices.

Best regards,

Hi Martynas,

That’s awesome news, thank you very much!

We’ll go ahead and get ourselves a RUT956 and wait for the next release with this feature and I’ll report back.

Again, thanks a lot! :partying_face:
