Example: Gre Tunnel Over An Ipsec Tunnel - Digi Connect IT 4 User Manual

Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

Example: GRE tunnel over an IPSec tunnel

The Connect IT 4 device can be configured as an advertised set of routes through an IPSec tunnel. This
allows you to leverage the dynamic route advertisement of GRE tunnels through a secured IPSec
tunnel.
The example configuration provides instructions for configuring the Connect IT 4 device with a
GRE tunnel through IPsec.
Connect IT 4-1 configuration tasks
1. Create an IPsec tunnel named ipsec_gre1 with:
A pre-shared key.
n
Remote endpoint set to the public IP address of the Connect IT 4-2 device.
n
A policy with:
n
Local network set to the IP address and subnet of the local GRE tunnel,
l
172.30.0.1/32.
Remote network set to the IP address and subnet of the remote GRE tunnel,
l
172.30.0.2/32.
2. Create an IPsec endpoint interface named ipsec_endpoint1:
a. Zone set to Internal.
b. Device set to Ethernet: Loopback.
c. IPv4 Address set to the IP address of the local GRE tunnel, 172.30.0.1/32.
3. Create a GRE tunnel named gre_tunnel1:
a. Local endpoint set to the IPsec endpoint interface, Interface: ipsec_endpoint1.
b. Remote endpoint set to the IP address of the GRE tunnel on Connect IT 4-2, 172.30.0.2.
4. Create an interface named gre_interface1 and add it to the GRE tunnel:
a. Zone set to Internal.
b. Device set to IP tunnel: gre_tunnel1.
c. IPv4 Address set to a virtual IP address on the GRE tunnel, 172.31.0.1/30.
Connect IT 4-2 configuration tasks
1. Create an IPsec tunnel named ipsec_gre2 with:
The same pre-shared key as the ipsec_gre1 tunnel on Connect IT 4-1.
n
Remote endpoint set to the public IP address of Connect IT 4-1.
n
A policy with:
n
Local network set to the IP address and subnet of the local GRE tunnel,
l
172.30.0.2/32.
Remote network set to the IP address of the remote GRE tunnel, 172.30.0.1/32.
l
2. Create an IPsec endpoint interface named ipsec_endpoint2:
a. Zone set to Internal.
b. Device set to Ethernet: Loopback.
c. IPv4 Address set to the IP address of the local GRE tunnel, 172.30.0.2/32.
