ELS Messages for Simple Key Interchange Protocol (GRE) Subsystem


GRE.001

Level:
UI-ERROR
Short Syntax:
GRE.001 Too many encaps, drop pkt
Long Syntax:
GRE.001 Too many encapsulations, dropping packet
Description:
The tunnel header can not be prepended to the packet due to insufficient header space.

GRE.002

Level:
UE-ERROR
Short Syntax:
GRE.002 Optnl flag/s set in GRE hdr of incmng pkt - unspprtd
Long Syntax:
GRE.002 Optional flag/s are set in first octet of GRE header of incoming - packet. These options are not supported.
Description:
We are receiving a packet whose GRE Header indicates that it supports GRE optional features like Strict Source Routing, Key, Sequence Number, Checksum etc. We don't support any of these features yet and hence put out a warning message to that effect and return.
Cause:
This is because the remote end is possibly a non-OpenROUTE equipment that has implemented these optional fields for GRE.
Action:
Reconsider implementing these optional fields in the GRE header(?)
