[Swan] Tunnel between Cisco 881 (vrf VTI) & Libreswan

[Adam Tauno Williams]

I am attempting to configure a VPN tunnel between a Libreswan host
(3.20-5, CentOS7) and a Cisco 881 router.   I want to create a VTI
interface on the CentOS7 host corresponding to a Tunnel interface on
the Cisco router [we have some relatively complicated routing].

I have been able to peer the Cisco router and the Libreswan host in a
straight-up assocation but when I attempt to change this over the a
vrf-VTI configuration I am getting stuck.
