Re: [j-nsp] Build a GRE tunnel on VRRP routers

So, I build two GRE on the Loopback interfaces, - If Il use OSPF into the GRE, and define OSPF adjacence between tunnel interfaces , there is no need to activate keepalives, the faillures will be detected by OSPF process and will converge ( may be a little more slowly) ? - In

Hi, I would like to configure a GRE tunnel between two couples of VRRP redundant routers , The problem is that, I can't Use the Virtual IP to build on the tunnel. How can I build my GRE in this case, to detect faillure and interact with the VRRP mecanism. O __

I second the previous email but add that you should make sure you enable GRE keepalives for quick resolution of downed tunnel status. Regards, On 2/22/09, Kevin Loch kl...@kl.net wrote: Fatiha HOUACINE wrote: Hi, I would like to configure a GRE tunnel between two couples of VRRP

VRRP was designed really for having two routers on a LAN and providing default gateway redundancy for hosts on the LAN. You should not mix your GRE tunnels with VRRP. Just build two tunnels and use a routing protocol over them for redundancy. Fatiha HOUACINE wrote: Hi, I would like to

GRE keepalives are not supported. You'd need to use some dynamic protocol , OSPF for instance, and build GRE tunnels based on the dynamically learned addresses (loopback for instance), if you want to achieve some sort of dynamic GRE tunnel. On 2/23/09 12:52 AM, Stefan Fouant wrote: I second
