feature request : GRE tunnel

marcins · September 10, 2008, 5:24am

It would be good finally to have GRE tunneling, ( that you can tunnel multicast on this , and then secure it with IPSec ), ipip tunnel is not an option..

what about EoIP?

marcins · September 10, 2008, 8:22am

is it compatible with GRE on Cisco ? if yes, there should be some information in documentation
i assume it support mcast on this ?

normis · September 10, 2008, 8:27am

no, EoIP works only between RouterOS devices.

marcins · September 10, 2008, 9:25am

ok, so its feature request,

to have tunnels between ROS and Cisco/Juniper

normis · September 10, 2008, 9:28am

and how about PPTP? it uses GRE, and is compatible with Cisco. Not sure if it fits all your requirements though:

Are there some news about GRE tunnel ?

Hi,

There is an ongoing effort to get Mikrotik to add “IPv4 Tunnel” support to their IPSEC implementation. This will allow easy direct compatibility with Juniper, Cisco, Netscreen, Fortinet, Watchguard to support interface/route based tunnels. It will allow dynamic routing as well as multicast between the different vendors units easily.

If you would like this please chime in on the v4 feature requests thread http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/v4-0-feature-request-s/18662/1

Hello. Very disappointed in Mikrotik Router OS is not supported by clear GRE tunnel (port 47) . Your IPIP tunnel (port 4) is not supported in hardware Cisco. PPTP tunnel I do not fit (the technical requirements of VoIP provider Rostelecom) Now I have to throw out your Router board in the scrap-heap, and buy Cisco . Why is it so difficult to add pure GRE tunnel in Mikrotik Router OS? I do not understand your lack of talent and stubborn programmers … : (((I guess just on that - that you Lietuviai …

unfortunately, I had to replace one MK by cisco router to be use a simple gre tunnel with a carrier…

I agree as well, PLEASE just support GRE. Hell it’s already included but not “available” through RouterOS. All EoIP is an extension “on-top” of GRE, meaning GRE already exists in RouterOS. Please Mikrotik, EoIP is great, but don’t strip away functions to add new ones.

So I say - just add a blank GRE tunnel, and so many users with Mikrotik Router OS will be easier and more pleasant!

normis · August 3, 2009, 8:23am

guess just on that - that you Lietuviai

confusing latvians with lithuanians will definitely not get you any bonus points for new feature requests

lscrlstld · August 3, 2009, 12:20pm

I love the Latvians people! well… brazilian love all people…

So, get me now a GRE !

itdirector · August 3, 2009, 3:17pm

Sorry, my English language I was brought into such subtleties.

normis · August 4, 2009, 6:25am

OK, I will file this as a feature request, but it will not be my decision.

lscrlstld · August 4, 2009, 11:43am

Liels paldies!

normis · August 4, 2009, 11:43am
