GRE Tunnel

August 1st, 2019 in ROUTE 300-101 Go to comments

Question 1

Explanation

GRE packets are encapsulated within IP and use IP protocol type 47

Question 2

Explanation

A GRE interface definition includes:

+ An IPv4 address on the tunnel
+ A tunnel source
+ A tunnel destination

Below is an example of how to configure a basic GRE tunnel:

interface Tunnel 0
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
tunnel source fa0/0
tunnel destination 172.16.0.2

In this case the “IPv4 address on the tunnel” is 10.10.10.1/24 and “sourced the tunnel from an Ethernet interface” is the command “tunnel source fa0/0”. Therefore it only needs a tunnel destination, which is 172.16.0.2.

Note: A multiple GRE (mGRE) interface does not require a tunnel destination address.

Question 3

Explanation

The tunnel interface is configured in default mode means the tunnel has been configured as a point-to-point (P2P) GRE tunnel. Normally, a P2P GRE Tunnel interface comes up (up/up state) as soon as it is configured with a valid tunnel source address or interface which is up and a tunnel destination IP address which is routable.

Under normal circumstances, there are only three reasons for a GRE tunnel to be in the up/down state:
+ There is no route, which includes the default route, to the tunnel destination address.
+ The interface that anchors the tunnel source is down.
+ The route to the tunnel destination address is through the tunnel itself, which results in recursion.

Therefore if a route towards the tunnel destination has not been configured then the tunnel is stuck in up/down state.

Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/generic-routing-encapsulation-gre/118361-technote-gre-00.html

Question 4

Explanation

In this question only answer A is a reasonable answer. When the state of the tunnel interface is continuously moving between up and down we must make sure the route towards the tunnel destination address is good. If it is not good then that route may be removed from the routing table -> the tunnel interface comes down.

Question 5

Explanation

The IP protocol was designed for use on a wide variety of transmission links. Although the maximum length of an IP datagram is 65535, most transmission links enforce a smaller maximum packet length limit, called an MTU. The value of the MTU depends on the type of the transmission link. The design of IP accommodates MTU differences since it allows routers to fragment IP datagrams as necessary. The receiving station is responsible for the reassembly of the fragments back into the original full size IP datagram.

Fragmentation and Path Maximum Transmission Unit Discovery (PMTUD) is a standardized technique to determine the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size on the network path between two hosts, usually with the goal of avoiding IP fragmentation. PMTUD was originally intended for routers in IPv4. However, all modern operating systems use it on endpoints.

The TCP Maximum Segment Size (TCP MSS) defines the maximum amount of data that a host is willing to accept in a single TCP/IP datagram. This TCP/IP datagram might be fragmented at the IP layer. The MSS value is sent as a TCP header option only in TCP SYN segments. Each side of a TCP connection reports its MSS value to the other side. Contrary to popular belief, the MSS value is not negotiated between hosts. The sending host is required to limit the size of data in a single TCP segment to a value less than or equal to the MSS reported by the receiving host.

TCP MSS takes care of fragmentation at the two endpoints of a TCP connection, but it does not handle the case where there is a smaller MTU link in the middle between these two endpoints. PMTUD was developed in order to avoid fragmentation in the path between the endpoints. It is used to dynamically determine the lowest MTU along the path from a packet’s source to its destination.

Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/generic-routing-encapsulation-gre/25885-pmtud-ipfrag.html (there is some examples of how TCP MSS avoids IP Fragmentation in this link but it is too long so if you want to read please visit this link)

Note: IP fragmentation involves breaking a datagram into a number of pieces that can be reassembled later.

Question 6

Explanation

A valid tunnel destination is one which is routable (which means the destination is present or there is a default route in the routing table). However, it does not have to be reachable -> Answer B is correct.

Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/generic-routing-encapsulation-gre/118361-technote-gre-00.html

For a tunnel to be up/up, the source interface must be up/up, it must have an IP address, and the destination must be reachable according to your own routing table.

Question 7

Question 8

Question 9

Explanation

GRE tunnel provides a way to encapsulate any network layer protocol over any other network layer protocol. GRE allows routers to act as if they have a virtual point-to-point connection to each other. GRE tunneling is accomplished by creating routable tunnel endpoints that operate on top of existing physical and/or other logical endpoints. Especially, IPsec does not support multicast traffic so GRE tunnel is a good solution instead (or we can combine both).

Question 10

Question 11

Explanation

When running GRE tunnel over IPSec, a packet is first encapsulated in a GRE packet and then GRE is encrypted by IPSec -> C is correct.

Question 12

Explanation

Four steps to configure GRE tunnel over IPsec are:

1. Create a physical or loopback interface to use as the tunnel endpoint. Using a loopback rather than a physical interface adds stability to the configuration.
2. Create the GRE tunnel interfaces.
3. Add the tunnel subnet to the routing process so that it exchanges routing updates across that interface.
4. Add GRE traffic to the crypto access list, so that IPsec encrypts the GRE tunnel traffic.

An example of configuring GRE Tunnel is shown below:

interface Tunnel0
ip address 192.168.16.2 255.255.255.0
tunnel source FastEthernet1/0
tunnel destination 14.38.88.10
tunnel mode gre ip

Note: The last command is enabled by default so we can ignore it in the configuration)

(Reference: CCNP Routing and Switching Quick Reference)

Question 13

Explanation

The address of the crypto isakmp key (line “crypto isakmp key ******* address 172.16.1.2”) should be 192.168.2.1, not 172.16.1.2 -> A is correct.

Question 14

Explanation

The access-list must also support GRE traffic with the “access-list 102 permit gre host 192.168.1.1 host 192.168.2.1” command -> B is correct.

Below is the correct configuration for GRE over IPsec on router B1 along with descriptions.

Configure_GRE_tunnel_over_IPsec.jpg

The interface tunnel configuration is rather simple so I don’t post it here.

Question 15

Explanation

The “tunnel destination” in interface tunnel should be 192.168.2.1, not 172.16.1.2 -> D is correct.

    Question 4
    A network engineer has configured GRE between two IOS routers. The state of the tunnel interface is continuously oscillating between up and down. What is the solution to this problem?

    A. Create a more specific static route to define how to reach the remote router.
    B. Create a more specific ARP entry to define how to reach the remote router.
    C. Save the configuration and reload the router.
    D. Check whether the internet service provider link is stable

    Answer: i think is “D”… not “A”

    because if it puts in up/up it means it is in fact reacheable and we can do nothing at the ISP side, we just have 1 way out and it is the gateway of the ISP.

    ¿what do you think?

    q13, q14 and q15,

    i am not sure why in OSPF process, “network 172. 16.1.0” (GRE tunnel ip address) statement is NOT needed?

    shouldn’t we enable tunnel subnet in routing process per Q12 exaplanation?

    I tried to reproduce Q13-Q15 examples in a lab and now suppose the basic concept of this configuration has a many mistakes.

    First, it has a gross blunder with OSPF network configuration. With ‘network’ command under ‘router ospf’ section we must use the wildcard mask 0.0.0.15, NOT 0.0.0.240. And then, again, 0.0.0.31 instead 0.0.0.224.
    Second, it miss tunnel subnet (172.16.1.0) in list of networks under ‘router ospf’ section, so neighborship relationship cannot be formed and exchange of routing updates will not work.
    Third and mainly, interfaces of f0/0 has an addresses 192.168.1.1/24 and 192.168.2.1/24 respectively. In this case routers interfaces is inaccesslible for each other and IPSec tunnel cannot be established. To solve this we must specify a static routes for neighbor’s interface on each routers. For example: ip route 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.255 fa0/0.
    Fourth, network commands for 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 are not neccessary, because it doesn’t work by default and meaningless if we configure a static route manually.

    I applied changes I mentioned above and now it’s works well. I’m not sure about ACL, but now tunnel on both sides is up/up, the neighbor relationship is formed and I can see all routes in the routing table.
