3.2.1 Manually
Configuring IPv6
Tunnels
This section explains how to configure tunnels manually.
To configure a tunnel manually, configure an IPv6 address on the tunnel interface and
manually configure the IPv4 addresses of the source port and destination port of the
tunnel. Then, configure the hosts or routers at the two ends of the tunnel to ensure that
they support the dual stacks (the IPv6 and IPv4 protocol stacks).
Caution
Do not configure tunnels manually with the same Tunnel Source and Tunnel
Destination.
Brief steps
config terminal
interface tunnel tunnel-num
tunnel mode ipv6ip
ipv6 enable
tunnel source {ip-address | type num}
tunnel destination ip-address
end
To configure an IPv6 tunnel manually, execute the following commands in the global
configuration mode:
Command Meaning
configure terminal
Enter the global configuration mode.
interface tunnel
tunnel-num
Specify a tunnel interface number to create a tunnel
interface and enter the interface configuration
mode.
tunnel mode
ipv6ip
Set the tunnel type to manually configured tunnel.
ipv6 enable
Enable the IPv6 function on the interface. You can
also configure the IPv6 address to directly enable
the IPv6 function on the interface.
tunnel source
{ip-address | type
num
Specify the IPv4 source address or referenced
source interface number of a tunnel. Note: If you
specify an interface, then the IPv4 address must
have been configured on the interface.
