Hi all
I'm been doing some experimenting with multipoint GRE over 3G and I've run into a problem I need some help with. My setup is best described with the attached network drawing. MAR-Router has a fiber Internet connection while the ECK-Router1 only has 3G connections using external modems with dynamic provider IPs, hence the need for multipoint GRE rather than static GRE tunnels. I've also had to use VRF lite on the ECK-Router1 as there is a need to keep the routing tables separate.
The tunnel9 interface on ECK-Router1 noVRF comes online nicely and OSPF does what it does. The tunnel can even handle when the 3G provider assign the modem a new IP. The tunnel 16 on ECK-Router1 VRF guest however does not handle nicely. When I set up the configuration the first time the tunnel comes up and OSPF goes adjacent with MAR-Router but whenever there is a disturbance in the 3G connection or the modem gets a new IP the tunnel goes down and doesn't activate until I remove and reenter the " tunnel vrf guest" command. The show dmvpn static detail command on ECK-Router1 gives the result below with the VRF guest tunnel in the NHRP state.
It seems multipoint GRE has a problem with VRF lite but it could also be a case where I've missed something. I would appreciate any pointers.
