Hi Experts,
I believe the the GRE tunnel cannot be terminated in the Check Point firewalls (Please confirm if by any way or in any version hardware or software or any model its supported). Also this GRE is proprietary of other vendor, is that a reason CP does not support or any other technical reasons there? Please let me know, any information is highly appreciable.
Thanks in advance.
Vijay
Hello,
GRE tunnels are not supported on Gaia OS. Please see sk92845 for more information.
Thanks.
Thanks for the response!!
According to Wikipedia, Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems. Linux and BSD can establish ad-hoc IP over GRE tunnels which are interoperable with Cisco equipment.

Hi Gera,
I just opened a support case with TAC to get more info on GRE support. This is the answer I received:
"I consulted with the developers and verified sk92845.
termination of GRE traffic is not supported on Check Point Gateway.
You may refer to the local office to request for Request for Enhancement.
Please let me know in case further information is needed."
Could you point me to up to date information on GRE support as it seems TAC doesn't have the right info...
Thanks,
Tom.
is there any update concerning GRE support on Gaia? Is the hotfix that was available for R80.10 also available for R80.30 and R80.40?
GRE is in R81 which we plan to GA soon and we're looking for EA customers.
Hi Gera,
Would you be able to advise on whether GRE tunnel support for R81 will also include GRE support in a VS?
Kind regards,
John.
That was a customer-specific hotfix that had some limitations associated with it, including support for future jumbo hotfixes.
Those generally don’t get ported to other releases but rather integrated as part of a maintrain release, such as R81.
Best to join the R81 Early Availability program.
