HI, all who have ever tested gre over ipsec with kernel 2.6 ipsec stack ? i tried gre over ipsec with freeswan-snapshot(2003/10/01) supporting kernel 2.6 ipsec. but cant ping over gre tunnel. my testing systems are ... kernel 2.6.0-test6 and redhat 7.3 system A <--> B is same lan subnet ( different subnet test is same problem ) system A real ip : 100.20.182.2 system A gre ip : 10.20.182.2 system B real ip : 100.20.182.6 system B gre ip : 10.20.182.6 when i ping from system B's REAL ip to system A's REAL ip, it works fine. 04:36:18.645594 211.232.182.6 > 211.232.182.2: ESP(spi=0xdd6e7ea0,seq=0x1f7) (DF) 04:36:18.645666 211.232.182.2 > 211.232.182.6: ESP(spi=0x30983a4e,seq=0x611) 04:36:19.655639 211.232.182.6 > 211.232.182.2: ESP(spi=0xdd6e7ea0,seq=0x1f8) (DF) 04:36:19.655713 211.232.182.2 > 211.232.182.6: ESP(spi=0x30983a4e,seq=0x612) 04:36:20.665687 211.232.182.6 > 211.232.182.2: ESP(spi=0xdd6e7ea0,seq=0x1f9) (DF) 04:36:20.665766 211.232.182.2 > 211.232.182.6: ESP(spi=0x30983a4e,seq=0x613) when i ping from system B's GRE ip to system A's GRE ip, it failure ( A dont reply ) eth0 tcpdump 04:38:13.280179 211.232.182.6 > 211.232.182.2: ESP(spi=0xdd6e7ea0,seq=0x262) (DF) 04:38:14.280104 211.232.182.6 > 211.232.182.2: ESP(spi=0xdd6e7ea0,seq=0x263) (DF) 04:38:15.280156 211.232.182.6 > 211.232.182.2: ESP(spi=0xdd6e7ea0,seq=0x264) (DF) 04:38:16.280209 211.232.182.6 > 211.232.182.2: ESP(spi=0xdd6e7ea0,seq=0x265) (DF) 04:38:17.280260 211.232.182.6 > 211.232.182.2: ESP(spi=0xdd6e7ea0,seq=0x266) (DF) 04:38:18.280312 211.232.182.6 > 211.232.182.2: ESP(spi=0xdd6e7ea0,seq=0x267) (DF) gre1 tcpdump 04:40:42.285971 10.20.182.6 > 10.20.182.2: icmp: echo request (DF) 04:40:43.286029 10.20.182.6 > 10.20.182.2: icmp: echo request (DF) 04:40:44.286076 10.20.182.6 > 10.20.182.2: icmp: echo request (DF) 04:40:45.286128 10.20.182.6 > 10.20.182.2: icmp: echo request (DF) 04:40:46.286180 10.20.182.6 > 10.20.182.2: icmp: echo request (DF) 04:40:47.286232 10.20.182.6 > 10.20.182.2: icmp: echo request (DF) any ideas ? thanks in advance Regards, minsuj - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
