RIP over VPN tunnel

Will RIP run over a VPN tunnel? I have a site to site to site VPN tunnel set up and an IP address set on my tunnel interface. I can ping the remote tunnel interface but I do not see the remote tunnel interface as a peer under RIP.

Hi Nathan,

Yes RIP works over a VPN tunnel. You can try configuring filters for RIP packets and see if they are getting dropped.

The other side of the tunnel is a Cisco router. RIP on the router was configured with the Palo tunnel interface as a RIP neighbor. On the Palo there is no place to define a neighbor under RIP. I do not see any packets dropped for RIP but never see the RIP peer over the tunnel. I am running RIP internal between the PA and a L3 switch which is working fine. on my RIP configuration for the tunnel interface I am not advertising. When I had advertising selected phase two of the tunnel would not stay up. The cisco router was getting routing errors and dropping the tunnel.
