This section explains how to:
create GRE tunnels
map WLANs to the GRE tunnels
If a device such as a router will act as the remote endpoint, you should also
verify that this device can receive and forward the traffic. Use the documen-
tation included with that product to do so.
Creating GRE Tunnels
Create a GRE tunnel between your Wireless Edge Services xl Module and the
device that should forward the WLAN’s traffic to its destination. For example,
a WLAN might provide guests with Internet access, and you might tunnel this
WLAN’s traffic to the WAN router that connects to the Internet.
To create a GRE tunnel, complete these steps:
1. Select Security > GRE Tunnels.
2. Click the Add button. The Add GRE Tunnel screen is displayed.
