IPSec GRE tunnels & interesting traffic

rakem

Something has just come to my attention while studying GRE tunnels. Here is the config that SDM has generated from one side of my tunnel (minus irrelevant info)

R1#

One thing i have noticed is that the only interesting traffic specified in the access-list is gre from 192.1681.1 to 192.168.1.2. Does this mean that traffic from my other networks e.g 10.1.1.0 is not being sent across the IPSec tunnel?

ALSO

I have just been mucking around a bit, and i'm having trouble establishing the tunnel again after i use the command 'clear crypto isakamp' here is my output:

So here we see i have a working IPsec tunnel:
R1#sh crypto isakmp sa
IPv4 Crypto ISAKMP SA
dst src state conn-id slot status
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 QM_IDLE 1001 0 ACTIVE

IPv6 Crypto ISAKMP SA


I enter in the clear command:
clear crypto isakmp

then get this:
R1#sh crypto isakmp sa
IPv4 Crypto ISAKMP SA
dst src state conn-id slot status
192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 MM_NO_STATE 1001 0 ACTIVE (deleted)

Ok so its been deleted. Now i would assume that something like a routing reconfiguration (since this is a GRE tunnel) or maybe a ping between networks or something similar would re-establish the tunnel? Well it doesn't.

I have shutdown the tunnel interface and the serial1/0 interface but the IPSec tunnel does not come back up. I have ran 'clear ip eigrp nei' but that does not bring the tunnel back up either.

The only way that the tunnel gets re-established is to reload the router. So i guess im missing something....

can anyone explain to me whats going on here? Cheers.

With that access-list, everthing gets encrypted.. Becuase it is taking packets and applying Gre headers to them, and since it comes from the tunnel source x.x.x.x, everything will get secured...


have you done cleared both routers or just one ?
