    Can we terminate Aruba GRE tunnel from IAP onto ArubaOS-Switch (instead of terminating it on MC)?

    If yes, what is the config required?

    AFAIK not, the Mobility Controller is the GRE "concentrator".

    , 

    But you can create a GRE tunnels from 2930 to the MC (they called it Tunneled-Node). 

     

    Whay is your purpose?

    I often set up Instant networks at several branch offices with Guest access via L2-centralised MC, and using Aruba GRE as the mechanism.

     

    Usually I install 1 or 2 small controllers in the data centre just to be the VPN concentrator.

    Since a switch is more useful (and often already exists in the central data centre) it would be useful if I can terminate the GRE directly on a switch and remove the small controller from the network completely.
