  • DMVPN appears to be configured correctly but networks that have routes do not respond to ping requests.
  • Cradlepoint router as HUB or Spoke device.
  • Zone Firewall will block the traffic because the GRE tunnel is an interface accessing the different zones on the router. 
  • Add GRE tunnel to Zone Firewall and allow traffic.
  1. Within Router UI navigate to Security>Zone Firewall>Zone Definition
  2. Create a new zone. 
  3. Within the popup window;
    • Select Add
