Step Description Command Keys
23 Enable the mechanism of IP 
addresses iterative query using DHCP 
on the specified interfaces when the 
GRE tunnel is disconnected via 
keepalive (optional).
esr(config-gre)# keepalive dhcp 
dependent-interface <IF>
<IF> – physical/logical 
interface on which IP address 
obtaining via DHCP is enabled.
24 Specify the time interval between GRE 
tunnel disabling and IP address 
iterative query on the interface/
interfaces specified by the keepalive 
dhcp dependent-interface command 
(optional).
esr(config-gre)# keepalive dhcp 
link-timeout <SEC>
<SEC> – time interval between 
GRE tunnel disabling and IP 
address requery via DHCP on 
the interfaces.
25 Override the MSS (Maximum segment 
size) field in incoming TCP packets 
(optional).
esr(config-gre)# ip tcp adjust-mss 
<MSS>
<MSS> – MSS value, takes 
values in the range of 
[500..1460].
Default value: 1460.
26 Enable recording of the current tunnel 
usage statistics (optional).
esr(config-gre)# history statistics
27 Enable the tunnel. esr(config-gre)# enable
It is also possible to configure the GRE tunnel:
QoS in basic or advanced mode (see section QoS management);
proxy (see section HTTP/HTTPS traffic proxying);
traffic monitoring (see sections Netflow configuration andsFlow configuration);
routing protocols functionality (see section Routing management);
BRAS functionality (see section BRAS (Broadband Remote Access Server) management).
9.1.2  IP-GRE tunnel configuration example
Objective:
Establish L3-VPN for company offices using IP network with GRE protocol for traffic tunneling.
IP address 115.0.0.1 is used as a local gateway for the tunnel;
IP address 114.0.0.10 is used as a remote gateway for the tunnel;
IP address of the tunnel at the local side is 25.0.0.1/24.
