I have a problem with EoIP tunnels. For some reason, tunnels justs falls apart after some time. I’m yet to find a way to determine if the tunnel is running or not.
My NAS (an 433AH) is connected to 8 AP’s trought EoIP. I’m rebooting the NAS once a week to bring the tunnels back. I think I should get better milleage from it.
I need a watchdog to follow the tunnels and bring it up as needed. Any idea?
EoIP tunnels are just GRE tunnels and are stateless. They don’t have an “up” or “down”. They just encapsulate a packet and send it. If they receive a packup, they unencapsulate it. Look for ARP problem and see if the GRE packets are still arriving at your NAS. We have EOIP tunnels which run for years straight.
just up up an IP addresses.
