Introduction

This document provides GRE with OSPF configuration examples.

Prerequisites

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of GRE and OSPF.

Example: Configuring GRE with OSPF

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, Device A is the gateway of the headquarters. Device B and Device C are the gateways of Branch 1 and Branch 2, respectively. The gateways have obtained public IP addresses from an ISP and can communicate with one another. Configure GRE with OSPF to meet the following requirements:

·     The headquarters and the branches communicate with one another through the GRE tunnels established between the headquarters and the branches.

·     The gateways learn the routes reaching the destination networks through the tunnel interfaces.

Table 1 Interface and IP address assignment

Device	Interface	IP address	Device	Interface	IP address
Device A	Vlan-int10	191.2.1.1/24	Device B	Vlan-int10	191.3.1.1/24
	Vlan-int20	10.1.1.1/24		Vlan-int20	10.7.1.1/24
	Tunnel1	10.5.1.1/24		Tunnel1	10.5.1.2/24
	Tunnel2	10.6.1.1/24
Device C	Vlan-int10	191.4.1.1/24
	Vlan-int20	10.8.1.1/24
	Tunnel2	10.6.1.2/24

 

Applicable hardware and software versions

The following matrix shows the hardware and software versions to which this configuration example is applicable:

 

Hardware	Software version
S6805 switch series	Release 6607, Release 6616, Release 6616P01, Release 6635 and later
S6825 switch series	Release 6616, Release 6616P01, Release 6635 and later
S6850 switch series S9850 switch series	Release 6555P01, Release 6607, Release 6616, Release 6616P01, Release 6635 and later
S9820-64H switch	Release 6555P01, Release 6607, Release 6616, Release 6616P01, Release 6635 and later
S9820-8C switch	Release 6607, Release 6616, Release 6616P01, Release 6635 and later

 

Restrictions and guidelines

Encapsulated packets cannot be forwarded on Layer 3 according to the destination IP addresses and routing tables. You must create a service loopback group of the tunnel service type to loop encapsulated packets back to the forwarding module for Layer 3 forwarding.

Procedures

Before configuring GRE and OSPF, configure an IPv4 routing protocol on the gateways so that they can reach one another. (Details not shown.)
