[AusNOG] GRE on Watchguard XTM 505

Fri Dec 5 23:05:53 EST 2014

Hi,

Thanks everyone for their replies. The Watchguard is more than just a firewall, its also a router as well. It is capable of handling BGP, Branch Office Connections and GRE.

However as this unit is out of support warranty I am not able to contact their support department for help I can only rely on their help centre.

I struggle to see the point in paying $2500 a year for the Level 1 support (that isn't of much use anyways) When we have forked out over ten thousand dollars on multiple devices over the past 3 years.

You know that GRE does not include encryption right?

I'm not across Watchguard, but I don't ever remember seeing a GRE tunnel being configured on a firewall before.. If you are tunnelling across public networks you might want to consider IPSEC.

Hey Guys,

Curious if any one knows how to configure a GRE tunnel to a remote location using Watchguard XTM 505 and Vyatta. The config on Vyatta is setup correctly but we cannot get the watchguard to play ball and the documentation on google and Watchguard help centre contradicts the last article

tunnel tun101 {
        address 10.9.0.1/8
        encapsulation gre
        local-ip 103.18.205.243
        remote-ip 203.208.65.136
    }
}

This is what I have on me end:

Any help or suggestions would be great, I am not sure the config I am using on the Watchguard is correct
