eoip tunnel

Mon Dec 17, 2007 2:56 pm

Dear all,

I want to ask about EoIP tunnel. There are :
- There is special hardware request for build eoip tunnel between mikrotik?, maybe two of them should be routerboard or ??
- I have tried to build eoip tunnel between my mikrotik, with different mac-address and same tunnel-id, but if i bandwidth test each other, it is always failed, except i test it using the real ip address, not the ip address of tunnel.

Any suggestion??

Thank you.

No special hardware requirements.
Make sure to have the same tunnel id, different MAC addresses and BE SURE to use only MAC addresses from the address range mentioned in the docs (which is NOT what WinBox is suggesting when creating a new interface). We have seen all kinds of strange errors when not using MAC addresses from that range.

Also make sure that GRE packets can flow between the two MikroTik routers, as EoIP basically is IP encapsulated in GRE packets.

Best regards,
