How can we see the packets tunneled inside the GRE tunnel? 

Jul 11, 2014 12:39 PM

Environment  : This article is valid for all Aruba controllers, and software versions.

 

Symptoms : We can see the GRE encapsulated in the wireshark but we cannot decrypt the contents.

 

 

Cause : By default, Aruba uses GRE mode 0 which doesn't allow wireshark to decrypt the contents.

 

Solution : Set the GRE mode to 25944 on both the ends of the tunnel:

 

interface tunnel 2
        description "Tunnel Interface"
        tunnel source 10.1.1.3
      tunnel mode gre 25944
        tunnel destination 10.1.1.2
        tunnel keepalive 5 3
        trusted
        tunnel vlan 2

 

 

After this, the contents of the GRE are visible in the Wireshark:

Here we can see the contents in the wireshark as ICMP.
