Follow-up:

So supposedly one CAN run OSPF across an IPsec tunnel if you use non-broadcast mode, but I'm nervous about crypto ACLs and the potential ongoing maintenance required.

Would still prefer a simpler IPsec-encrypted GRE tunnel solution ... :)

Use-case:

Network with several inter-colo WAN links and decent redundancy, but hey -- things break. Need to keep certain management (think VRF) things working across severed portions of the network after enough backhoes have had their way with us.

Running mostly IOS-XR 6.5.3 everywhere.

I'd like to build a couple of tunnels and run high-cost OSPF across them for fail-over situations. Since OSPF generally doesn't work over IPsec, I've been looking at IPsec-encrypted GRE tunnels, but I haven't found any good examples (at least not using IOS-XR.) Plenty of ones for IOS, but ...

Curious if anyone in the community has made this work ...

Or should I be looking in a different direction?

Thank you in advance!
