GRE Tunnel between Teltonika RUT950 and DrayTek

Generic Routing Encapsulation is a simple IP packet encapsulation protocol. A GRE tunnel is used to send IP packets from one network to another, without being parsed by any routers in between. This article demonstrates how to set up a GRE tunnel between Teltonika RUT950 router and a Vigor Router.

Settings of Teltonika RUT950 Router

1. Go to GRE Tunnel page and create the profile as follows:

Enter the WAN IP of Vigor Router at Remote Endpoint IP address
Enter Vigor Router's LAN network IP and mask in Remote network and Remote network netmask
Enter a Local Tunnel IP (this is the GRE IP) and the Local tunnel netmask as "32"
Use 1400 for MTU

In Common Settings, give a Profile Name, Enable this profile, and select GRE Tunnel.
In GRE Settings, enter Peer GRE IP as the GRE IP configured on Teltonika RUT950 router.
In TCP/IP Network Settings, enter Remote Gateway IP as the WAN IP of Teltonika RUT950 router.
And enter Remote Network IP/Mask as the LAN Network of the Teltonika RUT950 router.
Click OK to save the profile.
