gre concentrator

gre

Creates a GRE Concentrator profile for supported ExtremeWireless WiNG controllers.

The GRE Concentrator feature supports GRE tunneling between APs and ExtremeWireless WiNG controllers.

With this feature, an AP acts as GRE initiator and creates wireless client tunnels to an ExtremeWireless WiNG controller that is operating as a GRE concentrator tunnel terminator.

The maximum limits on GRE tunnel terminations for controller platforms are as follows:

Complete the following tasks to configure GRE tunneling between APs and ExtremeWireless WiNG controllers:

1. Configure a GRE Concentrator profile for a supported controller.
2. Configure VLANs for an AP.
   

   Note

   GRE Concentrator can terminate GRE tunnels mapped to more than one VLAN. You must configure one Native VLAN that is capable of transmitting untagged (default) or tagged traffic. All other VLANs will transmit tagged traffic. Select the Native VLAN when you configure the GRE tunnel profile in the next step.
3. Configure the GRE peer-to-peer settings on the AP and try to reach the concentrator using the ping command.

Supported on the following devices:

• Service Platforms: NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600
• Virtual Platforms: CX9000, VX9000
