GRE configuration examples 
Configuring an IPv4 over IPv4 GRE tunnel 
Network requirements 
As shown in Figure 139, Group 1 and Group 2 are two private IPv4 networks. The two networks both 
use private network addresses and belong to the same VPN. Establish a GRE tunnel between 
Router A and Router B to interconnect the two private IPv4 networks Group 1 and Group 2.

Configuration procedure 
Before performing the following configuration, configure an IP address for each interface, and make 
sure Router A and Router B can reach each other. 
1.  Configure Router A: 
# Create a tunnel interface Tunnel 0, and specify the tunnel mode as GRE/IPv4. 
<RouterA> system-view 
[RouterA] interface tunnel 0 mode gre 
# Configure an IP address for the tunnel interface.
