mGRE in VRF & Source Interface problem

Asad Ul Islam

Level 1

friends,

I have a scenario where in need to create multiple multipoint GRE tunnels and put them in VRF each for different customers.  But the problem i am facing is that i'm giving GRE Source Interface as Loopback of my Router which is in Global Table.    It works fine if i have One Tunnel only. But as soon as i create another Tunnel with same Source loopback interface.. Both tunnels goes down.    Can someone tell me why is this happening??  If i give different loopback as source interface to each tunnel . All tunnels stays up. But creating so many loopbacks doesn't seem scalable.

Hello.

I think "tunnel key xxx" could help you.

You should assign unique value per tunnel. Surely spokes should have the same tunnel key[s] as Hub.
