• Check that there is a GRE interface created on the appliance. To do this, go to the Diagnostics page
(System menu > Diagnostics > System tab) and scroll to the bottom. In the Interface
Configuration section, there should be an interface called greX. greX is the same as the Interface
Name specified in the table of current GRE tunnels.
• Also ensure that the required routes have been set up on the GRE interface. This might not occur if you
have the same route specified on different GRE tunnels, or on different network interfaces.
• Perform a ping test to ensure that the remote GRE endpoint is reachable. See
Symptom: Cannot ping the remote GRE end point.
• Ensure that the remote GRE end point responds to pings.
• Note that by default, no packets are routed across the GRE tunnel unless there is a route set up on the
GRE tunnel.
