Introduction
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol network.

Prerequisites
You will need:
- One RUTxxx router
- One Cisco router
- A PC to configure the routers
- Both routers must have a Public Static or Public Dynamic IP addresses
Configuration scheme
RUT configuration
- Enable instance.
- Select Tunnel source (select your WAN interface).
- Enter Remote endpoint IP address (CISCO WAN IP).
- Set MTU to 1440.
- Write Local GRE interface IP address (create GRE tunnel IP address or just use the same as in the example).
- Write Local GRE interface netmask (create GRE tunnel netmask or just use the same as in the example)
Cisco configuration
- Write GRE Tunnel Description (anything you want).
- Select Source (select your WAN interface).
- Enter Destination (RUT WAN IP).
- Write IP Address Of GRE Tunnel (create GRE tunnel IP address or just use the same as in the example).
