Description

When checking the interface status on SRX, 800 mbps is seen for GRE interface from "show interfaces":

root@XXXXX> show interfaces gr-0/0/0 extensive 
Physical interface: gr-0/0/0, Enabled, Physical link is Up
  Interface index: 145, SNMP ifIndex: 518, Generation: 148

   Input  packets:                    0                    0 pps
   Output packets:                    0                    0 pps

Solution

800 mbps in " show interface " is not a hard limit. It can be ignored. Check the Input/Output packets pps or bps of each GRE tunnel with " show interface extensive gr-0/0/0 " in gr-0/0/0.x interfaces.

SRX does not have a hard GRE tunnel performance capacity. It depends on the GRE underlying the physical interface, SRX platform, or other features configured which take up CPU time slice.

GRE interface is a logical interface. There is no hard limit on all logical interfaces including GRE.

All logical interfaces that show speed as 800 mbps:

  • Type: GRE, Link-level type: GRE, MTU: Unlimited, Speed: 800mbps
  • Type: IPIP, Link-level type: IP-over-IP, MTU: Unlimited, Speed: 800mbps
  • Type: Logical-tunnel, Link-level type: Logical-tunnel, MTU: Unlimited, Speed: 800mbps
  • Type: Multicast-GRE, Link-level type: GRE, MTU: Unlimited, Speed: 800mbps
  • Type: Adaptive-Services, Link-level type: Adaptive-Services, MTU: 9192, Clocking: Unspecified, Speed: 800mbps
  • Type: PIMD, Link-level type: PIM-Decapsulator, MTU: Unlimited, Speed: 800mbps
  • Type: PIME, Link-level type: PIM-Encapsulator, MTU: Unlimited, Speed: 800mbps
