What is soft GRE tunnel?

Soft-GRE refers to stateless GRE tunneling, whereby the AP forwards GRE encapsulated traffic to the WLAN-GW, and the GW reflects back the encapsulation in the downstream traffic towards the AP. WLAN-GW does not require any per-AP end-point IP address configuration.

What are the differences between a GRE tunnel and a site to site tunnel VPN?

While many might think a GRE IPSec tunnel between two routers is similar to a site to site IPSec VPN (crypto), it is not. A major difference is that GRE tunnels allow multicast packets to traverse the tunnel whereas IPSec VPN does not support multicast packets.

What is a GRE tunnel used for?

Configuring Generic Routing Encapsulation Tunneling Generic routing encapsulation (GRE) provides a private path for transporting packets through an otherwise public network by encapsulating (or tunneling) the packets. GRE tunneling is accomplished through tunnel endpoints that encapsulate or de-encapsulate traffic.

What are two features of a GRE tunnel?

The generic characteristics of a GRE tunnel are as follows:

• A GRE tunnel is similar to an IPsec tunnel because the original packet is wrapped inside of an outer shell.
• GRE is stateless, and offers no flow control mechanisms.
• GRE adds at least 24 bytes of overhead, including the new 20-byte IP header.

Is GRE tunnel encrypted?

Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is used when IP packets need to be sent from one network to another, without being parsed or treated like IP packets by any intervening routers. However, they are not secure, does not provide encryption. With GRE we can configure a virtual tunnel between two endpoints.

Are GRE tunnels encrypted?

A GRE tunnel functions like a VPN but without the encryption; it transports packets from one endpoint to another through the public network. GRE tunnels typically use keepalive packets to determine if a tunnel is up.

What is the difference between GRE over IPSec and IPSec over GRE?

Unlike the IPsec over GRE, GRE over IPsec has inverse processing of the data. Data will be encapsulated by the GRE tunnel first, then encrypted by the IPSec and transferred to the remote terminal.

Is a GRE tunnel a VPN?

GRE was developed as a tunneling tool meant to carry any OSI Layer 3 protocol over an IP network. In essence, GRE creates a private point-to-point connection like that of a virtual private network (VPN).

What are three features of GRE tunnel?

What are three features of a GRE tunnel? Creates non-secure tunnels between remote sites. Transports multiple Layer 3 protocols. Creates additional packet overhead.

Which three options are features of GRE?

The three GRE sections are Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing.
