Issue in Tunnel re-establishment

lmanavalan · ‎11-19-2009

Hi,

I successfully establised the IPsec between 2 end points which consistes of ASA followed by a router on both ends. Then i configured the GRE Tunnel between 2 end and configured OSPF. No problem in OSPF Neighbour formation. But, couple of issues

When the Router reloads then the GRE is not establishing unless i execute the "clear xlate" on the ASA. when i clear the tunnel everything is working fine. Tunnel is back to normal
Inorder to overcome the above issue I change the default tunnel mode to "tunnel mode ipip". The tunnel is reestablishing automatically when the router reloads and i dont have to clear the tunnel. But the OSPF is not working when "tunnel mode ipip" is used.

What could be the reason for this

Regards

Logesh

Hello Logesh,

you may want to post this in security -> firewall forum.

OSPF over GRE tunnel works, I never heard of OSPF over that other tunnel mode.

You should look for a solution that allows you to use GRE tunnel between routers.

Hope to help
