GRE C
ONFIGURATION
GRE protocol is used to tunnel either IP or non-IP packets across an IP cloud. In
the legacy applications, GRE was used to transport non-routable protocols like
SNA and non-IP protocols like IPX, Appletalk, and DECnet since normal IP
Security (IPsec) configurations could not transfer routing protocols, such as
OSPF.
In current applications, IPsec provides security by encrypting packets sent over
GRE tunnels.
The following features can be configured on a GRE Tunnel:
•
GRE
•
GRE + IP Filters + DoS
•
GRE over IPsec
