- Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol that can encapsulate various network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links to transport them over an IP network. - GRE tunnels are configured between two endpoints by specifying a tunnel interface, source and destination IP addresses, and routing protocols to pass traffic through the tunnel. - IPsec can be used with GRE tunnels to encrypt the encapsulated packets for additional security.

Generic Routing Encapsulation:

• GRE stand for the Generic Routing Encapsulation.


• Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can
encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links or point-to-
multipoint links over an Internet Protocol network.
• GRE is the mechanism that encapsulate one protocol in another protocol.
• Tunneling is a concept where we put ‘packets into packets’ so that they can be transported over
certain networks. We also call this encapsulation.
• Tunneling is used to hide the packet and transported over certain networks. In GRE basically,
tunneling is a concept where to put packets into packets.
• GRE tunnels are used to create point-to-point connections between two networks.
• Generic Routing Encapsulation is a method to tunnel IP packets between two end points.
• Generic Routing Encapsulation supports encapsulating IPv4 broadcast & multicast traffic.
• GRE does not encrypt packets; it can be used along with IPsec to encrypt the packets.

GRE Configuration Steps:

Step 1:

Create tunnel interfaces on R1 and R2 using the interface tunnel number command.

Step 2:

Choose a subnet to be used on tunnel interfaces and assign an IP address from the subnet to both end points.

Step 3:

Configure the source IP address of the tunnel interface using the tunnel source interface or the tunnel source
ip-address command. The source interface or IP address must be the one that connects the router to the
public part of the network.

Step 4:

Configure the destination IP address of the tunnel interface using the tunnel destination ip-address
command. The destination IP address must be the remote one that connects the router to the public part of
the network.

Step 5:

Configure the routers to use the tunnel interfaces to reach remote subnets. Use either static routing or a
dynamic routing protocol to enable on tunnel interfaces to achieve that.
