Ok guys, I have a new site with two X450G2's running system version 22.5.1.7 and Advanced Edge License. I currently have a high speed WAN from our local ISP which is a private link back to our HQ. We obtained a cellular LTE device from another provider that assigned us a /30.
For proof of concept I am doing my testing on a spare X450G2 running the same 22.5.1.7 code but just the regular edge licence. I have the tunnel created and I can ping the endpoints which are the local and remote LTE router. But the provider of these LTE routers require us to create a GRE tunnel over them.
I created the tunnel on the HQ side which terminates into a Cisco 2901 router with this command:
interface Tunnel5
description LTE TUNNEL TO R BRANCH
ip address 192.168.205.33 255.255.255.252
ip mtu 1400
ip tcp adjust-mss 1360
tunnel source 10.200.0.1
tunnel destination 10.200.0.22
end
The LTE router at this HQ site is 10.200.0.1, and the LTE router at the "R Branch" we will call it, is 10.200.0.22. This Cisco Router can ping 10.200.0.22 without issue. The Extreme test switch can ping 10.200.0.1 without issue, so I know there is LTE connectivity.
Now for creating the GRE tunnels, this Cisco commands above work fine for our other branches that terminate into other Cisco 2901 routers. However this new site does not have any Cisco routers since we are doing routing in the switch.
Here is what I've attempted on the EXOS side for the tunnel:

I am expecting that this EXOS switch, 192.168.205.34 should be able to ping the Cisco side of the tunnel at 192.168.205.33, and the Cisco side should be able to ping the EXOS side as well. However the ping is failing.
Obviously the endpoints will be 192.168.205.33 at the branch and 192.168.205.34 at the HQ and we will push traffic over this if the primary WAN goes down (likely using OSPF).
Am I missing something, or did I configure something wrong?
Again this is just a test switch so we can do antying on it and not disrupt connectivity. But once I get it working I want to translate this config to the actual branch and drive the LTE device over there and plug it into port 2:49 (with gigabit SFP port). Port 1:49 is the current WAN handoff in its own transport vlan. The site has no connectivity issues today, but we want to throw in this LTE backup device just in case there is a fiber cut or other issue with our upstream provider. We have this configuration today with other sites, but all of those existing sites use either a Cisco 2901 or 2911 router. We are trying to eliminate that extra piece of equipment if at all possible.
