Cisco RV345 GRE Tunnel without encryption

[Chainz111]

Hi 

the thing I want to achieve is to have a unencrypted VPN tunnel between two RV345 routers running the latest firmware (there is no CLI support for this router)

The configuration I did so far is in one of the routers I entered an IP for the tunnel 172.16.1.1 and in the other 172.16.1.2

In the access lists I think I tried every variant of configuration, but I could not ping the other side

Can somebody explain how can I do this?

Hi there,

I think you are confusing the IP addresses that are being asked for.

The 'Destination' IP is the remote end IP address that you are extending the GRE tunnel to. This is typically a loopback address, or a public WAN interface IP. This entry will be different for both routers.

The 'IP address of GRE tunnel' is a subnet which is encapsulated within the tunnel and used for point-to-point communication. It will be different on both routers, but they must belong to the same subnet.

cheers,

Seb.

I agree with Seb that the main issue is the identification of the destination. You are specifying that the source is WAN2. So probably the destination would be the equivalent interface address of the other RV345.

You were right, thank you for your guidance. I made a video (terrible English) explaining the configuration through the web interface. Hope it helps someone.
