Implement and configure AWS Backup for VMware Cloud on AWS VM workloads

In our previous post we saw the design of the AWS Backup on VMC. In this post we’re going through the implementation steps As per the design and best practice, we are going to use the ENI for the Backup traffic CREATE A VPC ENDPOINT  TO CREATE AN INTERFACE ENDPOINT FOR AN AWS SERVICE 1. Open the Amazon VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc    2. In the navigation pane, choose Endpoints 3. Choose Create endpoint 4. Name the endpoint   5. For Service category, choose AWS services 6. For Service name, search “ Backup ” and select “ backup-gateway ” service from the dropdown 7. For VPC, select the VPC which we used for SDDC deployment and extension 8. To create an interface endpoint for Amazon S3, you must “uncheck” Additional settings, Enable DNS name. This is because Amazon S3 does not support private DNS for interface VPC endpoints 9. For  Subnets , select one subnet per Availability Zone which we used for SDDC VMC selection  10. For Security group , sel

Configure On-Demand Routing (ODR) on Cisco routers


ODR is used to allow hub routers to accept prefix information, distributed via Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) , from spoke routers.


On the hub router, enter this command
router odr

Also, routes can be controlled with a distribute-list:
distribute-list 10 in
distribute-list 20 out
assuming the referenced ACLs exist, otheriwse no routes are accepted or sent.

Since the prefix updates are carried on CDP, ODR updates can be controlled, in true sledgehammer fashion, by disabling CDP on an interface:interface serial 0/0
no cdp enable

For ODR to work properly, all dynamic routing protocols need to be disabled on the spoke routers.
