Description

For a generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel, enable fragmentation of GRE-encapsulated packets whose size exceeds the maximum transmission unit (MTU) value of a link that the packet passes through. The don’t-fragment (DF) bit is not set in the outer IP header of GRE-encapsulated packets.

To enable the reassembly of fragmented GRE-encapsulated packets on GRE tunnel interfaces at the endpoint of the GRE tunnel, include the reassemble-packets statement for the interface.

Note:

The reassemble-packets statement is not supported on MPC10E line card in Junos OS Release 19.3.

Default

If you do not include the allow-fragmentation statement, fragmentation of GRE-encapsulated packets is disabled.
