6.1.5 GRE
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunnelling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that encapsulates a wide variety of
network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol internetwork.
Deploy an NTC-400 Series Router router at a remote site and establish a virtual private network with the control centre using
GRE tunnelling. All client hosts behind the router can make data communication with server hosts behind control centre
router.
GRE Tunnelling is similar to IPSec Tunnelling where the client requests the tunnel establishment with the server. Both the
client and the server must have a Static IP or an FQDN. Any peer router can work as either a client or a server, even using the
same set of configuration rules.
