GRE
Starting from R81.10.07, you can create a GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel as a
LAN interface connected with a remote peer and route all traffic between the two sites.
Each site has its own routable physical IP address. The GRE tunnel is created on top of a
physical network interface, and each tunnel side is assigned a tunnel IP address which is
different than the physical IP address.
Notes:
n
Because the GRE tunnel connects two remote sites over the internet, Quantum
Spark appliances must support such interfaces.
n
Do not create the GRE tunnel over LAN.
To create a GRE tunnel:
1. In the WebUI, go to Device >Local Network and click New.
2. From the drop-down menu, select GRE.
The New GRE window opens in the Configuration tab.
3. Enter the applicable information for the GRE Settings fields:
GRE IPv4 Interface Address Settings section:

IPaddress - The IP address on a local interface (physical).
n
Peer address - The IP address of the remote peer (physical).
Interface Settings:
n
GRE tunnel ID - The ID is used as part of the GRE interface name. For example,
if the ID is "4", the interface name is "gre4"
n
TTL - Time to Live in seconds. The value is usually 255.
Source Address and Remote Gateway Address:
