Depending on IOS version, crypto-map on Tunnel interface may not be required, see

Note: With Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2(13)T and later (higher numbered T-train codes, 12.3 and later codes), you must apply the configured IPSec crypto map to the physical interface only. You no longer have to apply the crypto map on the GRE tunnel interface. Having the crypto map on the physical and the tunnel interfaces when you use Cisco IOS Software Releases 12.2.(13)T and later should still work, but Cisco Systems recommends that you apply the crypto map on the physical interface only.

To have GRE tunnel run in the clear between R2 and R3 just configure Tunnel interface on R3 and all crypto stuff on R2 and R1.
HTH

Subject: GRE encryption with IP SEC

Hi group,
 
When encrypting a GRE Tunnel with IP SEC, the crypto map must be applied to the Tunnel interface AND to the physical interface.
I understand the physical interface, but why does it need to be specified on the tunnel interface ? Is this really necessary and what is the effect ?
I am trying to setup sort of a special configuration:
Router R1 is connected to R2 and R2 is connected to R3
 
I have a GRE tunnel running from R1 to R3 using loopback addresses.
Between R1 and R2, this tunnel needs to be encrypted, not from R2 to R3
Is this possible ?
 
 
regards,
Geert
