I am witnessing a weird situation and not sure where else to look. A tunnel has refused to come up between an C2811 and a C1811. I have looked and looked like the whole day! I hate obfuscation, but I have done some. I can avail the obfuscated details privately:-) C1811#sh runn int tunnel 50 Building configuration...

@Wash, wacha watu walale! :-)) Ok, to me it seems the problem is with the service providers as your config is pretty straight forward. There is a work around on this, pls google command : ip tcp adjust-mss 1436 and you may find the answer. HTHs. Rgds.

@Aki, It did not solve it still. Maybe provider has done something that is fscking this:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

@Wash, a couple things you can try. Firstly I hope you set the command below on both routers, it cannot work on one side alone. Remove the routers and physically connect the 2 routers wan ports ( use cat6 and may need a cross-over cable ) and test the setup. This way, you know the 1500bytes window is guaranteed and no service provider inbetween. It could be that one of your site is on wimax and the other on fiber thus creating issues for gre. On GRE, think it is 23 or 26bytes. Also do away with GRE and try out ipsec and see if that brings the tunnels up. A guide to ipsec : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_tech_note09186a0080... HTHs. :-) On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 11:48 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

I set the command on both sides, yes.

One router is in Nairobi. The other one is in the UK ;-)

I am going to start blaming the service provider for this, I tell you.

That is very true. Nairobi site is on WiMAX while the UK site is on fiber.
On GRE, think it is 23 or 26bytes. Also do away with GRE and try out ipsec and see if that brings the tunnels up. A guide to ipsec : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_tech_note09186a0080...
HTHs. :-)
Wacha I read that and see where I end, before I blame it all on the wimax provider ... -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

Its usually best practice to start with basic configs when things dont work. Try removing the keepalive as well as the tunnel key settings on both sides of the tunnel. U might also want to do a debug on the router to see what errors you get when the tunnel is trying to bring itself up. debug interface tunnel50 -- *./ TJ*
