    Hi All,

     

    Is it now possible to terminate GRE tunnels on the VRRP IP address?

     

    I believe I read it in some release note but can someone confirm please?

     

    Thanks

    James

    I've been doing this for a while with good results. Never knew it was in doubt??? Can't remember the first version I did it in, but it was ages ago...

     

    Cheers!

    Thanks guys.

    FYI The controllers are currently on 6.1.2.5.

    I've been doing it since early 3.x through 6.1.3.2, no worries.

    Working fine now. I was setting the source address on the master as the VRRP address which didn't work. When I changed it to the controllers IP it worked fine.

     

    Thanks

    I'm confused now.

     

    Tunnels from local controllers back to the headquarters have been rock-solid until I went from single master to VRRP-pair redundant master. Now they seem to forget to tunnel traffic.

     

    I left the tunnel configs exactly the same on the master and the local controllers, with the addition that I've duplicated the master's settings on the backup master -- that is both of them list the tunnel source as the master (virtual) IP.

     

    Should I set the tunnels on the masters as sourced from their IP real addresses?

    I don't want duplicate tunnels from locals to both masters, I just want one tunnel to the master-in-charge, so do I leave the locals pointing to the VRRP address?
