About GRE Tunnels
The GRE Tunnels page allows you to self-provision the GRE tunnels for your organization via the Admin Portal. You can use the GRE tunnels to forward internet traffic from your corporate network to the Zscaler service.
The GRE Tunnels page provides the following benefits and enables you to:
- Self-provision GRE tunnels from your organization to the geographically nearest Zscaler data centers.
- Configure primary and secondary GRE tunnels from a single static IP address to support failover if one tunnel becomes unavailable.
- Configure multiple GRE tunnels using a CSV file, thereby simplifying the configuration effort for the administrator.
