Part 3: Cisco SDWAN tloc extension (gre-to)
Cisco SDWAN tloc extension (gre-to)
By using a TLOC extension interface, a WAN Edge router can communicate with the adjacent WAN Edge router over the interface to use other WAN edge router ISP media. As we discuss that in our earlier article as well

As in our earlier article we discuss about tloc-extension-gre-from and now in this article we will talk about tloc-extension-gre-to

First thing, It can only work on the IOS-XE model devices used for the SDWAN features. These models are Cisco ISRs and ASRs.
Router 1 and Router 2 are connected by a GRE tunnel over an L3 network. An MPLS network and the VPLS are connected to Router 1.There are two routers on the same site, but Router 2 has no circuits and is on a different L3 network.
When you configure you need to add one thing here
tloc-extension-gre-to <extended-interface-ip-address>
<extended-interface-ip-address>: GRE tunnel destination IP address of the interface that you are extended to another router in the branch
