Configuring a GRE Tunnel

An IP Security (IPSec) tunnel can only carry unicast IP traffic. Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE) can be used to allow transfer of dynamic routing (RIP) and multicast traffic between two GRE end points (a GRE tunnel). This GRE tunnel can then be secured by further encapsulation within an IPSec tunnel. Note that GRE tunnels cannot encapsulate non-IP traffic.

Note For secure GRE connections, you must configure an IPSec Security Association (IPSec SA) before you configure GRE tunnels. You can configure an IPSec SA from the IPSec Status page (VPN > IPSec Status).

The GRE tunnel requires a security zone.
