 GRE(Generic Routing encapsulation)

 It is the simplest protocol

 It encapsulate inside or outside ip address
 GRE is nothing to do with encryption that IPsec provide
 We use GRE for Multicast traffic
 It allow us to start treating the VPN connection like we using private link

GRE Tunnel interface Configuration in R1 and R2
 R1(config)#interface tunnel 1 {1:- Tunnel Number}
 R1(config-if)#description TUNNEL DIRECTLY CONNECTING TO R2
 R1(config-if)#tunnel source 100.100.100.2 {source Public ip address of R1}
 R1(config-if)#tunnel destination 200.200.200.2 {Destination Public ip address of R2}

 R1(config-if)#exit

 R2(config)#interface tunnel 2 {2:- Tunnel Number}

 R2(config-if)#description TUNNEL DIRECTLY CONNECTING TO R1
 R2(config-if)#tunnel source 200.200.200.2 {source Public ip address of R2}
  R2(config-if)#tunnel destination 100.100.100.2 {Destination Public ip address of R1}
 R2(config-if)#ip address 172.16.16.2 255.255.255.252 {Private ip address for Tunnel}
 R2(config-if)#exit
Protocol Configuration in R1 and R2 to exchange their route
 R1(config)#router rip
 R1(config-router)#version 2
 R1(config-router)#network 192.168.2.0 {R1 internal network}
 R1(config-router)#network 172.16.16.0 {R1 Tunnel Network}
 R1(config-router)#no auto-summary
 R1(config-router)#exit

 R1(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s1/0 {default route to internet}

 R2(config)#router rip
 R2(config-router)#version 2
 R2(config-router)#network 10.250.250.0 {R2 internal network}
 R2(config-router)#network 172.16.16.0 {R2 Tunnel Network}
 R2(config-router)#no auto-summary
 R2(config-router)#exit

 R2(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s1/1 {default route to internet}

Troubleshooting & Verification Commands
 Show ip interface brief
 Show ip route
 Show interfaces tunnel 2 {Tunnel No.}

 Verify using
 Traceroute from PC1 to PC2
 All the traffic will go through Tunnel

 GRE tunnel acts as all the devices are connected in same Ethernet segment
 And also It hides the public address
