Hi All,

I am trying to configure a GRE tunnel from a Juniper router to a linux server. I am quite happy with the router side of things, though want to understand the best option on the linux side.

The host linux server is running debian with an openvswitch, i want to create a GRE tunnel from the router to a systemd container running quagga..

There are options of a GRE tunnel end point on the host server and the openvswitch.. just wondering what is the best way to go about it and the configuration involved?



regards,
Lee.

More infro on the set up...

Juniper > hostmachine > openvswitch > container

routable addresses for tunnel source and destination;
Juniper loopback = 10.3.1.225
