Can you post any libreswan messages in the journal and the ovs-monitor-ipsec.log file?

Hi,

Tunnel type ip6gre is not supported. The only supported types are: gre, stt, vxlan, geneve

IPv6 vxlan and IPv6 geneve have no problem.
But we have been using ip6gre to create ipv6 GRE tunnel and I tried with type=gre and remote_ip/local_ip as IPv6 address but it doesn't work even without IPsec. Please make sure only support gre is expected.
I don't try with stt and don't know yet how to use it.

Thanks.

Ok if IPv6 generally works (for vxlan and geneve), can we change the title of this bug to GRE IPv6 support?

I've changed it and please see if it's ok. Thanks.

Comment 9 Mark Gray 2021-01-19 15:18:09 UTC
Yes, looks fine now.

Comment 12 Mike Pattrick 2023-08-02 15:56:49 UTC
ovs-monitor-ipsec doesn't currently support ip6gre at all. I'll look into adding it.

Comment 13 Mike Pattrick 2023-08-02 20:00:26 UTC
I quickly added ip6gre to ovs-monitor-ipsec, but still wasn't able to establish a full ipsec tunnel.

From a quick debugging session I see IKE negotiate, and even "ip xfrm state" shows the proper configuration. But egress ipv6 gre packets aren't encrypted properly.

Comment 14 Flavio Leitner 2023-08-04 18:23:48 UTC
Thanks Mike. The IPSEC w/ IPv6 is not supported downstream.
I am closing this bug because we don't have RFE to enable that.
