Configure IPv6 over IPv6 Tunnel
Configuration Conditions
Before configuring the IPv6 over IPv6 tunnel, complete the following tasks:
- Configure the IP6 address of the interface, making the neighboring nodes reachable at the network layer
- Create one tunnel interface, and configure the basic parameters (refer to the configuration manual of the tunnel interface)
- Configure any unicast routing protocol, making the route at the two ends of the tunnel reachable

Command
|
Description
|
Enter the global configuration mode
|
configure terminal
|
-
|
Enter the tunnel configuration mode
|
interface tunnel tunnel-number
|
-
|
Configure the tunnel interface address
|
Ipv6 address ipv6-address { mask | mask-length }
|
Mandatory
By default, the address is not configured on the tunnel interface.
|
Configure the Tunnel interface mode as IPv6 over IPv6
|
tunnel mode ipv6ipv6
|
Optional
By default, the mode of the Tunnel interface is GRE over IPv4.
|
Configure the source address or interface name of the Tunnel interface
|
tunnel source { ipv6-address | interface-name }
|
Mandatory
By default, do not configure the source address or interface name on the tunnel interface.
|
Configure the destination address of the Tunnel interface
|
tunnel destination { ipv6-address }
|
Mandatory
By default, the destination address is not configured on Tunnel interface.

-
The tunnel interface address needs to be configured with IPv6 address, and the protocol can only be IPv6 protocol.
- The two ends of the tunnel must be configured with the source IP address and the destination IP address. The IP addresses at the start and end of the tunnel are complementary source IP address and destination IP address for each other.
- When configuring the tunnel source and if the interface mode is adopted, the source address of the tunnel adopts the first IPv6 address of the source interface (non-linklocal address).
- The start and end of the tunnel must be configured with the same tunnel mode. Otherwise, the tunnel transmission fails.
