    Sorry, but a PIX/ASA device is not capable of being an endpoint for GRE tunneling. You'll need a router device instead.

  2. Cisco ASA devices don't support being GRE tunnel endpoints. You need to use a Cisco router if you want a Cisco device terminating that tunnel.

  3. Here is a guide for Setting up a GRE Tunnel on a Cisco router but as the poster above said, you need a router, not an ASA device.
