me3600X GRE support

[Artem Voskresenskiy]

Hello.

I have cisco ME-3600X-24FS-M (PowerPC8572) processor (revision B0) with 1015808K/32760K bytes of memory with image

me360x-universalk9-mz.152-2.S/me360x-universalk9-mz.152-2.S.bin.

I'v created GRE tunnels on it and it's seems work for local traffic (ping from me3600 to destination beyond Tunnel ok )

but transit traffic doesn't work.

So anyone knows whether the me3600X support GRE tunnels or not ?

I did't find ofiicial information about it.

Maybe I need a more recent IOS for support this feature ?

Thanks for assistance.

Hi Artem,

See the config guide for your IOS 15.2.2S
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/metro/me3600x_3800x/software/release/15-2_2_S/configuration/guide/3800x3600xscg/swiprout.html

Steps for Configuring Routing
 
By default, IPv4 routing is disabled on the switch, and you must enable it before routing can take place. For detailed IP routing configuration information, see the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide, Release 12.2
 
In the following procedures, the specified interface must be one of these Layer 3 interfaces:
 
•A routed port: a physical port configured as a Layer 3 port by using the no switchport interface configuration command.
 
•A switch virtual interface (SVI): a VLAN interface created by using the interface vlan vlan_id global configuration command and by default a Layer 3 interface.
 
•An EtherChannel port channel in Layer 3 mode: a port-channel logical interface created by using the interface port-channel port-channel-number global configuration command and binding the Ethernet interface into the channel group. For more information, see the "Configuring Layer 3 EtherChannels" section.

Note The switch does not support tunnel interfaces for unicast routed traffic.

Thanks a lot, Alex.

The trick is that it work for locally origined traffic but not for transit. It's misleading ((.
