Multiple GRE tunnels, same source\destination

[jimersonm]

Hello all,

I am attempting to create two GRE tunnels, both tunnels have the same source and destination. No problem creating the first tunnel but creating the second I get the error\warning

Warning: Using same source IP for more than one IP/GRE tunnels

may cause software switching packets for tunnels using

this address. If possible, use a unique tunnel source for Interface Tunnelxxx

Is a simple solution to this warning to have multiple loopback addresses configured on the routers designed for our GRE tunnels to allow us to do this.? having multiple loopback addresses will allow for unique tunnel source names.. Will this work?

Thanks...

Yes having multiple loopback interfaces would work and would allow each tunnel to have unique source/destination.
