[ovs-discuss] GRE tunneling questions

[JC Martin]

When it doesn't work I have a host unreachable while trying to ping a device on the 192.168.200.x. I see that the icmp packets are routed to the right interface (the one attached to the bridge with the tunnel, with the IP=192.168.200.4), but it seems that the tunnel is too long to see its end:

root at bm-1:~# ping 192.168.200.1
PING 192.168.200.1 (192.168.200.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.200.4 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.200.4 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.200.4 icmp_seq=4 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.200.4 icmp_seq=5 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.200.4 icmp_seq=6 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.200.4 icmp_seq=7 Destination Host Unreachable

Ideally, on bm-1 I would like to have two interfaces, one on 172.16.188.x and one on my private network (192.168.200.x)
