Hi
We have the requirement to setup a public wifi access point for customers.
To setup the public wifi network and ensure it is completely separated form our corporate network we have chosen to use a VRF at both the data center side and branch office side. Between the data center and the branch office we are going to run a GRE tunnel within our WAN.
So far we have configured the VRF, public interface and the tunnel - from the branch office and data center we can ping both ends of the tunnel and on the data center side we can ping our upstream however once we setup the default route on the branch VRF we cannot ping any network aside from the VRF network 172.12.1.0
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated
Extracted configuration below;
Router 2 (Branch)
---------------------------------
interface Tunnel0
ip vrf forwarding PublicNet
ip address 172.16.1.2 255.255.255.252
ip tcp adjust-mss 1436
tunnel source 192.168.53.1
tunnel destination 192.168.50.4
end
!
ip route vrf PublicNet 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Tunnel0 172.16.1.1
!
ip vrf PublicNet

Router 1 (Datacenter)

Q. Does the Cisco Catalyst 3560-E support generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunneling?
A. No. The Cisco Catalyst 3560-E can switch "transient" GRE tunneled traffic in hardware at wire rate, but it cannot act as a GRE tunnel endpoint. Future support of GRE tunneling in software is possible

i think you need the high end Switches for GRE tunneling

Hello,
Agree 100%. In fact, I would not even talk about "transient" GRE traffic because it is slightly confusing. The GRE is inside IP, and the IP is inside Ethernet frames. Everything encapsulated in Ethernet frames can be L2 switched at wire rate.
Best regards,
Peter
