GRE Tunnel From F5 to Linux Server

Hi, I have 2 redhat 6 linux servers that have a GRE tunnel configured between them as follows: GRE1 Linux Server: ONBOOT=yes DEVICE=tun0 TYPE=GRE MY_INNER_IPADDR=192.168.255.2 PEER_INNER_IPADDR=...

    I got this working.

    GRE2 to F5 translation looks like this:

    Create the tunnel:

    Network->Tunnels->Create
    Name: MyGRETunnel
    Encapsulation Type: GRE
    Local Address: 1.1.1.1
    Remote Address(Specify): 2.2.2.2
    

    Create SelfIP

    Network->SelfIPs->create
    Name: GRESelfIP
    IP Address: 192.168.255.1
    VLAN/Tunnel: MyGRETunnel
    

    Also ensure protocol 47(GRE) is allowed through firewalls and its working great.
