Customer is using ACX EVO device with version 24.2R1-EVO. They wanted to build a GRE tunnel with ISP.
The ISP will be using GRE tunnel at their side.
Earlier, GRE encap was not available for ACX EVO.
Even with this feature, you cannot configure GRE tunnel, but only FTI with GRE encap.
The new feature "MPLS over GRE - FTI" is introduced in ACX EVO platforms from 24.2R1.
https://apps.juniper.net/feature-explorer/feature/8081?fn=MPLS%20over%20GRE%20-%20FTI
Allows you to configure MPLS protocols over FTI (flexible tunnel interface), thereby transporting MPLS packets over IP networks which do not support MPLS. GRE and UDP tunnels support MPLS protocol for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. You can configure encapsulation and de-encapsulation for the GRE and UDP tunnels.
Below is the sample configuration, which was tested in lab with topology, ACX7024 <-10G-> MX104.
ACX7024
set chassis fpc 0 pic 0 tunnel-services
set interfaces et-0/0/4 description mx104-xe-0/0/0
set interfaces et-0/0/4 unit 0 family inet address 10.10.10.0/31
set interfaces fti1 unit 0 tunnel encapsulation gre source address 1.1.1.1
set interfaces fti1 unit 0 tunnel encapsulation gre destination address 2.2.2.2
set interfaces fti1 unit 0 tunnel encapsulation gre bypass-loopback
set interfaces fti1 unit 0 tunnel encapsulation gre ttl 255
set interfaces fti1 unit 0 family inet address 3.3.3.0/31
set routing-options static route 2.2.2.2/32 next-hop 10.10.10.1
MX104
set interfaces gr-0/0/0 unit 0 tunnel source 2.2.2.2
set interfaces gr-0/0/0 unit 0 tunnel destination 1.1.1.1
set interfaces gr-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 3.3.3.1/31
set interfaces xe-0/0/0 description acx7024-et-0/0/4
set interfaces xe-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 10.10.10.1/31
set routing-options static route 1.1.1.1/32 next-hop 10.10.10.0
