Wow, I hope you don't try that on your CCIE lab! Last I heard, bridging was not supported on tunnel interfaces. At least it's not on the 12.2(15)T5 running on a 2651XM router I just tested. If you find a (recent, supported) version of IOS that supports "bridge-group" in a tunnel interface please let me know.
I think proxy ARP is more what is needed here, if we are talking about IP traffic. If not, then IOS should support the other protocol in the tunnel (it supports AppleTalk, Banyan VINES,CLNS, DECnet, IP, or IPX). If it's "raw" NetBIOS or SNA, then setup DLSW peers...

[7:72738] Uhm. Never done this or heard of this before. I would just do something like: Interface LAN 1 Bridge-group 1 Interface tunnel 1 Source WAN Destination REMOTE_WAN Bridge-group 1 Since, concurrent routing and bridging makes it possible to both route and bridge a specific protocol on separate interfaces within a router, then WAN just route and LAN/Tunnel just bridge :) If that not work for you, then maybe try intergrated routing and bridging - create a BVI and source the tunnel from that interface. -luan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 1:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: GRE TUNNEL/Ethernet-broadcast-like? [7:72738] Hello, A question barely came up to mind: Would it be possible to "join" a broadcast domain, not by means of a LAN switch but from one remote router to another, using GRE Tunnels? Since I haven't done it before, I kind of thought that it'll be possible. For instance, having: R1eth0(no ip address)--GRE TUNNEL-Ser0--CLOUD--GRE_TUNN--Ser1---R2eth0(no ip address) , where arp packets may flow from R1 to R2 via this GRE Tunnel. Under this scenario and simply put, can R1'sLAN be also part of R2'sLAN? If it's possible, how could the config be like?
