Figure VPN-3-4Enlarge network operating range

When using RIP, if the hop count between two terminals in the above figure is more than 15, the two terminals can not communicate with each other. When the tunnel is used in the network, a part of hops can be hidden, enlarging the operating range of the network.

3)Connect some discontinuous sub-networks to establish VPN.

Figure VPN-3-5Tunnel connects discontinuous sub-networks

novell

The two sub-networks group1 and group2 running Novell IPX protocol are in different cities. With the tunnel available, the trans-WAN Virtual Private Network can be established.

In addition, GRE also supports the users to select and record identification key word of tunnel interface, supports the check of encapsulated message, and supports the use of synchronous serial numbers to ensure channel safety and correctness of transmission data.

Because of encapsulation and de-encapsulation on GRE receiving side and transmitting side and data volume increase caused by encapsulation, GRE will decrease the forwarding rate of router data to some extent.

3.2 Configuring GRE

3.2.1 GRE Configuration Task List

GRE configuration task list is as follows:

zCreate virtual tunnel interface.

zSet the source address of tunnel interface.

zSet the destination address of tunnel interface.

zSet the network address of tunnel interface.
