GRE Tunnel Issues

Product Discussion Peplink Balance
1

Dear All,

Today I do a small test to see what is GRE Feature on Peplink 380 (firmware 6.2.2). I got a strange issue so I need your kindly support.

Let’s see the network diagram first.


In the above topology, the Peplink will create a GRE Tunnel to Router A via the Local Link. Peplink Wan1 detail configuration is below:

  • Connection method: GRE.
  • Routing mode: NAT.
  • WAN: 172.16.1.1
  • WAN Subnet: /24.
  • WAN Default Gateway: 172.16.1.2
  • Remote GRE Host: 172.16.2.2
  • Tunnel Local IP Address: 192.168.1.2
  • Tunnel Remote IP Address: 192.168.1.1
  • Outgoing NAT IP Address: 192.168.1.2

I can see the GRE packet between Pelink and Router A but I cannot ping 192.168.1.1 on Peplink from Router A.
In addition, when I do a ping test from Peplink to 8.8.8.8, packet loss happen (image below).

Hi TK,

We have POC request for GRE tunnel between Peplink to Cisco Connector. Do we have Simulation test configuration and test result ? How to verify that GRE connected ?

Second question : What is difference between GRE WAN and GRE Tunnel ? When we use the first and the second ?
