Adding and Deleting Protocols for GRE Tunnels
The Bay Networks implementation of GRE tunneling supports IP and IPX
encapsulation. Use the BCC or Site Manager to add or delete a protocol for a GRE
tunnel.
Adding a Protocol to a GRE Tunnel
When you add a protocol to a tunnel, you are configuring its local logical
interface. This address is not visible to the network cloud that the tunnel passes
through.
Use the BCC or Site Manager to add a protocol to a GRE tunnel.
Using the BCC
You can use the BCC to add an IP or IPX protocol interface to a GRE tunnel.
Adding an IP Protocol Interface
To add an IP protocol interface to a GRE tunnel, navigate to the GRE tunnel
interface prompt (for example,
box; tunnels; gre/boston
) and enter:
ip address
<address>
mask
<address>
address
is the valid IP address at the local end of the tunnel expressed in
dotted-decimal notation.
mask
is the mask associated with the IP address.
For example, the following command adds the IP interface 9.9.9.1/255.255.255.0
to the tunnel boston:
gre/boston#
ip address 9.9.9.1 mask 255.255.255.0
For a complete description of IP interface configuration, see Configuring IP, ARP,
RIP, and OSPF Services.
Note:
You can configure OSPF on either a GRE tunnel’s physical interfaces
or its logical interfaces, but not on both. When configuring OSPF on a GRE
tunnel, disable MTU mismatch detection. If the MTU mismatch parameter is
enabled, an OSPF adjacency may fail to form over the tunnel.
