MPLSoGRE Filtered Mirroring is a specialized version of Mirroring to GRE Tunnel and Filtered Mirroring in which

This feature introduces the support for IPv4 ACL configuration under GRE and IPsec tunnel interfaces and IPv6 ACL configuration under GRE tunnel interfaces. The configured ACL rules are applied to a tunnel terminated GRE packet i.e. any IPv4/v6-over-GRE-over-IPv4 that is decapsulated by the GRE tunnel-interface on which the ACL is applied, or a packet terminated on IPsec tunnel i.e, IPv4-over-ESP-over-encrypted-IPv4 packet that is decapsulated and decrypted by the IPsec tunnel interface on which the ACL is applied.

This is an addendum to the “IP in IP decapsulation” document.When GRE decapsulation is configured using decap groups, incoming packets with an outer IP header having IPProto=47 (GRE) and a destination IP that matches the configured value will be decapsulated. This means that the outer IP and GRE headers will be removed from the packet, and all subsequent decisions will be based on the inner IP header.

An introduction to Nexthop-groups can be seen in the Nexthop-Group section of eos.With this feature, IP packets matching a static Nexthop-Group route can be encapsulated with a GRE tunnel and forwarded.

This feature will allow the user to select whether port mirror destinations of type GRE tunnel include the optional “key” field in the GRE header on certain platforms. The key field allows the user to uniquely identify a particular packet flow. The feature also allows the user to specify the value of the 32 bit key field.

This feature allows transport of multicast frames to an endpoint across an IP network by tunneling them through MPLSoGRE or MPLSoGUE. The tunneling of multicast frames is achieved with a traffic policy applied on the ingress interface which will match on all packets destined to a multicast IP address and redirect that traffic to a MoG nexthop group. The traffic policy will also specify “forced routing” in order to set the fwd_layer_index to 1 so that the L2 header is removed before encapsulation.

This feature allows encapsulating (and decapsulating) L2 traffic from a given interface or subinterface over a GRE tunnel. An MPLS label is added to identify the ingress interface (similar to MPLS pseudowires) and the GRE tunnel or nexthop-group is used to transport the packets to a remote endpoint.

Mirroring to a GRE tunnel allows mirrored packets to transit to a L3 network using GRE encapsulation.

MPLS-over-GRE encapsulation support in EOS 4.17.0 enables tunneling IPv4 packets over MPLS over GRE tunnels. This feature leverages next-hop group support in EOS. With this feature, IPv4 routes may be resolved via MPLS-over-GRE next-hop group to be able to push one MPLS label and then GRE encapsulate the resulting labelled IPv4 packet before sending out of the egress interface.

This feature introduces the support for OSPF routes over GRE tunnels under default as well as non-default VRFs. The feature is disabled by default.

GRE ( Generic Routing Encapsulation ) packet header has a Key extension which is used by Arista to carry packet metadata. Currently packets mirrored at egress to a GRE tunnel destination do not have this information. This feature could be used to enable metadata in egress mirrored packets to GRE destinations.

This feature terminates GRE packets on a TapAgg switch by stripping the GRE header and then letting the decapped packets go through the normal TapAgg path. With this feature, we can use an L3 GRE tunnel to transit tapped traffic to the TapAgg switch over an L3 network. That would widely extend the available use cases for TapAgg.

This feature introduces hardware forwarding support of IPv4 multicast traffic over IPv4 GRE tunnel interfaces in Arista Switches. Multicast source traffic can reach the receivers which are separated by an IP cloud which is not configured for IP multicast routing by utilizing a GRE tunnel.
