GRE Tunnel Configuration Guide

Network Topology

The network topology consists of two Xatellite devices. Xatellite1's eth1 interface is connected to Xatellite2's eth1 interface, serving as the basic working environment for implementing GRE tunnel functionality.

Objectives

1. Enable communication between terminal devices after configuring IPv4 addresses

2. Enable communication between terminal devices after configuring GRE tunnels over IPv4, including:

   • Remote tunnel endpoint IPv4 address configuration
   • Local tunnel IPv4 address configuration

Equipment Requirements

Device	Model	Version	Note

Testing and Verification

Basic Connectivity Test

1. Test IPv4 connectivity

   • Ping test from Xatellite1 to Xatellite2

• Ping test from Xatellite2 to Xatellite1

GRE Tunnel Test

1. Test GRE tunnel connectivity

   • Ping test from Xatellite1 to Xatellite2 through tunnel

• Ping test from Xatellite2 to Xatellite1 through tunnel

Conclusion

• IPv4 connectivity was successfully established between terminal devices
• GRE tunnel configuration was successfully implemented and verified
• All communication tests passed as expected
