One more thing, i noticed

Hey guys,

I meet a problem about setting tunnels with VRF between 6509 and 4507. I created VRF instance/Tunnels on both switches, both tunnels are up but only 6509 can see 4507 via its tunnel, 4507 cannot see 6508 via its tunnel, so i cannot see eigrp nei at 4507 for its VRF. 4507 and 6509 are connected directly via L3-P2P. I do not meet this issue when setting tunnels between 6509s because i can use NHRP. Below shows you the configuration.

Any ideas on this issue?

BTW, from 6509, i can see the 4507 IP 172.23.12.132 from eigrp nei information, but the uptime cannot last over 1 minute, after 1 min, the uptime will back to zero and start again.

Of course, from 6509, 172.23.12.132 cannot be pinged.

One more thing, i noticed that the interface MTU of 4507 tunnel is incorrect although i configured the MTU.
