I was thinking to implement as a solution to an organization multipoint GRE
because of it's simplicity and flexibility, but I had some problems that I
wanted to discuss with you guys. I have managed to implement multipoint GRE
on HUB and two spokes ( not easily ), but the third spoke experiences me
some problem, on that spoke when I do a debug nhrp packet it says that the
"encapsulation succeeded" and that the registration request was sent but the
request doesn't go to the hub router. And the debug on hub router says that
the "encapsulation failed", there are no filters or any other mechanism that
won't allow these two to communicate. The configs are below:

 

Other 2 spokes have the same config as the below one, expect the IP's that
are different

Spoke router config:

 

ip address 10.10.0.5 255.255.255.0

 no ip redirects

 no ip directed-broadcast

 ip nhrp authentication xxx

 ip nhrp map 10.10.0.1 172.16.x.2

 ip nhrp map multicast 172.16.x.2

 ip nhrp network-id 77

 ip nhrp holdtime 120

 ip nhrp nhs 10.10.0.1

 ip ospf network broadcast

 ip ospf priority 0

 tunnel source Ethernet0 (wan interface)

 tunnel mode gre multipoint

 tunnel key 777

 tunnel checksum

 

HUB router config :

 

interface Tunnel100

ip address 10.10.0.1 255.255.255.0

 no ip redirects

 ip nhrp authentication xxx

 ip nhrp map multicast 172.16.x.6

 ip nhrp map multicast 172.16.x.10

 ip nhrp map multicast 172.16.x.14

 ip nhrp network-id 77

 ip nhrp holdtime 120

 ip ospf network broadcast

 tunnel source Ethernet1/0 (wan interface)

 tunnel mode gre multipoint

 tunnel key 777

tunnel checksum

 

The first two spokes although at first didn't nhrp register at first after
some time the mysteriously registered and they are functioning correctlyI
would like to read your experiences with multipoint gre. I don't know if the
problem is at me, that I still don't know how it functions or simply the
nhrp protocol isn't defined well in cisco, these strange problems make me
think like that. Is there any one that uses multipoint gre on real life
scenario?

 

Thanks in Advance
