Part 2: Configure a GRE Tunnel Part 3: Enable Routing over the GRE Tunnel
Background / Scenario
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol that can encapsulate a variety of network layer protocols between two locations over a public network, such as the Internet.
GRE can be used with:
– Connecting IPv6 networks over IPv4 networks – Multicast packets, such as OSPF, EIGRP, and streaming applications
In this lab, you will configure an unencrypted point-to-point GRE VPN tunnel and verify that network traffic is using the tunnel. You will also configure the OSPF routing protocol inside the GRE VPN tunnel. The GRE tunnel is between the WEST and EAST routers in OSPF area 0. The ISP has no knowledge of the GRE tunnel. Communication between the WEST and EAST routers and the ISP is accomplished using default static routes.
Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches, and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the correct interface identifiers.
Note: Make sure that the routers and switches have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure, contact your instructor.
Instructor Note: Refer to the Instructor Lab Manual for the procedures to initialize and reload devices.
Required Resources 3 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable) 2 Switches (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable) 2 PCs (Windows with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term) Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology
Part 1: Configure Basic Device Settings
In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure basic router settings, such as the interface IP addresses, routing, device access, and passwords.
Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology.
Step 2: Initialize and reload the routers and switches.
Step 3: Configure basic settings for each router.
a. Disable DNS lookup.
b. Configure the device names.
c. Encrypt plain text passwords.
d. Create a message of the day (MOTD) banner warning users that unauthorized access is prohibited.
e. Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password.
f. Assign cisco as the console and vty password and enable login.
g. Set console logging to synchronous mode.
h. Apply IP addresses to Serial and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces according to the Addressing Table and activate the physical interfaces. Do NOT configure the Tunnel0 interfaces at this time.
i. Set the clock rate to 128000 for DCE serial interfaces.
Step 4: Configure default routes to the ISP router.
WEST(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.2
EAST(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.2.2.2
Step 5: Configure the PCs.
Assign IP addresses and default gateways to the PCs according to the Addressing Table.
Step 6: Verify connectivity.
At this point, the PCs are unable to ping each other. Each PC should be able to ping its default gateway. The routers are able to ping the serial interfaces of the other routers in the topology. If not, troubleshoot until you can verify connectivity.
Step 7: Save your running configuration.
Part 2: Configure a GRE Tunnel
In Part 2, you will configure a GRE tunnel between the WEST and EAST routers.
Step 1: Configure the GRE tunnel interface.
a. Configure the tunnel interface on the WEST router. Use S0/0/0 on WEST as the tunnel source interface and 10.2.2.1 as the tunnel destination on the EAST router.
b. Configure the tunnel interface on the EAST router. Use S0/0/1 on EAST as the tunnel source interface and 10.1.1.1 as the tunnel destination on the WEST router.
Note: For the tunnel source command, either the interface name or the IP address can be used as the source.
Step 2: Verify that the GRE tunnel is functional.
a. Verify the status of the tunnel interface on the WEST and EAST routers.
WEST# show ip interface brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol Embedded-Service-Engine0/0 unassigned YES unset administratively down down GigabitEthernet0/0 unassigned YES unset administratively down down GigabitEthernet0/1 172.16.1.1 YES manual up up Serial0/0/0 10.1.1.1 YES manual up up Serial0/0/1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down Tunnel0 172.16.12.1 YES manual up up EAST# show ip interface brief Interface IP-Address OK?

b. Issue the show interfaces tunnel 0 command to verify the tunneling protocol, tunnel source, and tunnel destination used in this tunnel.
What is the tunneling protocol used? What are the tunnel source and destination IP addresses associated with GRE tunnel on each router? _______________________________________________________ The tunneling protocol used is GRE. For the WEST router, the tunnel source is 10.1.1.1 (Serial0/0/0), and the destination is 10.2.2.1. For the EAST router, the tunnel source is 10.2.2.1 and the destination is 10.1.1.1.

_____________________________________________________ The tunnel 0 interfaces on both WEST and EAST routers. The traffic is using the tunnel.
f. The ping and traceroute commands should be successful. If not, troubleshoot before continuing to the next part.
Part 3: Enable Routing over the GRE Tunnel
In Part 3, you will configure OSPF routing so that the LANs on the WEST and EAST routers can communicate using the GRE tunnel.
After the GRE tunnel is set up, the routing protocol can be implemented. For GRE tunneling, a network statement will include the IP network of the tunnel, instead of the network associated with the serial interface. just like you would with other interfaces, such as Serial and Ethernet. Remember that the ISP router is not participating in this routing process.
Step 1: Configure OSPF routing for area 0 over the tunnel.
a. Configure OSPF process ID 1 using area 0 on the WEST router for the 172.16.1.0/24 and 172.16.12.0/24 networks.
WEST(config)# router ospf 1
WEST(config-router)# network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 WEST(config-router)# network 172.16.12.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
b. Configure OSPF process ID 1 using area 0 on the EAST router for the 172.16.2.0/24 and 172.16.12.0/24 networks.
EAST(config)# router ospf 1
EAST(config-router)# network 172.16.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0 EAST(config-router)# network 172.16.12.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
Step 2: Verify OSPF routing.
a. From the WEST router, issue the show ip route command to verify the route to 172.16.2.0/24 LAN on the EAST router.
WEST# show ip route

What is the exit interface and IP address to reach the 172.16.2.0/24 network? ____________________________________________________ The tunnel 0 interface with an IP address of 172.16.12.2 is used to reach 172.16.2.0/24.
b. From the EAST router issue the command to verify the route to 172.16.1.0/24 LAN on the WEST router.
What is the exit interface and IP address to reach the 172.16.1.0/24 network? _____________________________________________________ The tunnel 0 interface with an IP address of 172.16.12.1 is used to reach 172.16.1.0/24.

a. Ping from PC-A to PC-C. It should be successful. If not, troubleshoot until you have end- to-end connectivity.
Note: It may be necessary to disable the PC firewall to ping between PCs.
b. Traceroute from PC-A to PC-C. What is the path from PC-A to PC-C? ________________________________________________________ 172.16.1.1 > 172.16.12.2 (Tunnel interface on the EAST router) > 172.16.2.3
Reflection
1. What other configurations are needed to create a secured GRE tunnel?
_______________________________________________________ IPsec can be configured to encrypt the data for a secured GRE tunnel.
2. If you added more LANs to the WEST or EAST router, what would you need to do so that the network will use the GRE tunnel for traffic? _______________________________________________________ The new networks would need to be added to the same routing protocols as the tunnel interface.

There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
