Thank you for you help but it is not an IP conflict. Here are the IPs and masks on each interface. Linux - eth0 20.0.0.249/24 Linux tunnel is 192.168.2.4/24 Cisco FastEthernet3/0 is 20.0.0.250/24 Cisco tunnel address is 192.168.2.2/24 Cisco configuration for the tunnel ! interface Tunnel0 ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 ip rip send version 2 ip rip receive version 2 tunnel source FastEthernet3/0 tunnel destination 20.0.0.249 !

(probably not what you want). either way, you can check your existing routes with the 'ip route' command 2) I'm assuming the gre device is created when you modprobe gre. I have gre built in to my kernel, so the device always exists for me. as for why it's not working, it might have something to do with your IP's conflicting. from the output you gave, it looks like linux/eth0 has the IP 20.0.0.249, as does the cisco/eth0. same goes for the tunnel. both devices have the 192.168.2.4 IP. if you want everything to work right, the linux and cisco devices will need independent IP's. to change the IP on the linux, you can do this : #ip address del 20.0.0.249/24 dev eth0 #ip address add 20.0.0.250/24 dev eth0 #ip address del 192.168.2.4/24 dev tunnel0 (assuming 192.168.2.5 isnt taken) #ip address add 192.168.2.5/24 dev tunnel0 and of course, your tunnel remote and local will have to be swapped use the following command when you create your tunnel. [root@TestLinux root]# ip tunnel add tunnel0 mode gre remote 20.0.0.249 local 20.0.0.250 Good Luck -Joe On Sun, 13 Feb 2005 12:16:15 -0500, Michael Tedesco <mtedesco@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > Here is my network: > > > > ------------------ ------------- > > ----------- Linux box ----------- GRE --------- Cisco ---------- > > ------------------ ------------- > > > > What I wan to accomplish.
