GRE Tunneling with Linux

Posted by Cliff on from the lack-of-information? dept.

Eric asks: "Does anyone have some information for people learning how to setup a GRE tunnel with linux? I know there is kernel support, but that's about as far as i've gotten, I can't seem to find any info on the web about how to setup a GRE tunnel. And major and minor number for making a GRE0 device would be gladly accepted."

    That search turns up quite a bit on "linux" and "vpn" but very little (scratch that, nothing) on "gre", which is an imporatant part of the question at hand.

  2. They's lots o' info out there by Zippy+the+Pinhead · · Score: 1

    Just for fun, I went to Yahoo! and did a search on "+gre +vpn +linux" and came up with tons o' useful links.

    Always check the LDP and specifically the VPN Mini-HOWTO.

    I shouldn't have to tell you this.

    I've been collecting all the documentation I can find on the new Linux 2.2 networking code for several months; have a look at my Mostly Networking page.

    ANK has released his "IP Command Reference" (you can find it on the site) that will probably tell you all you need to know.
