The information presented in this document was created from devices in a specific lab environment. All of the
devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If you are working in a live
network, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command before using it.
Background Theory
Tunneling provides a way to encapsulate packets of a foreign protocol inside a transport protocol. Tunneling
is implemented as a virtual interface to provide a simple interface for configuration. The tunnel interface is not
tied to specific passenger or transport protocols, however, it is an architecture that is designed to provide the
services necessary to implement any standard point−to−point encapsulation scheme. Tunnels are
point−to−point links, and you must configure a separate tunnel for each link.
GRE creates a virtual point−to−point link to Cisco routers at remote points over an IP internetwork. By
connecting multiprotocol subnetworks in a single−protocol backbone environment, IP tunneling using GRE
allows network expansion across a single−protocol backbone environment. A Cable Modem Termination
System (CMTS) is any Data−over−Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS)−compliant headend
cable router, such as the Cisco uBR7246, uBR7223, or uBR7246VXR.
Configure
In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.
Network Diagram
This document uses the network setup shown in the diagram below.
This setup creates a tunnel between the two cable modems uBR924−ddd5 and uBR924−b5db. The example
below uses two uBR924s and a uBR7246VXR. For this set up, the names of the cable modems are
ubr924−ddd5 and ubr924−b5db, and they use Cisco IOS version 12.1(5)T4. The tunnel interfaces are
dynamically created in global configuration mode by issuing the command interface tunnel 0.
Note: The uBR900 cable modems do not have to be connected to the same uBR7200 CMTS or the same
service provider's network as long as there is IP connectivity between the two cable modems.
Configurations
This document uses the configurations shown below.
