Configuring the Remote Tunnel End Point
A remote tunnel end point can be any IP interface configured on a
Nortel Networks router or another router that complies with RFCs 1701 and 1702.
To maximize the robustness of the tunnel, use a circuitless IP address as a tunnel’s
physical end point whenever possible. (For instructions on configuring a
circuitless IP interface, see Configuring IP, ARP, RARP, RIP, and OSPF Services.)
When you configure a remote tunnel end point, you assign it a name and specify
the IP address of the remote physical interface, as well as the IP and IPX addresses
of the remote logical interfaces. The physical interface is the physical router
interface at the remote end of the tunnel. This address is visible to the network
cloud that the tunnel passes through. The remote logical interface is not visible to
the network cloud.
6. Enter the required information to configure
the IP or IPX interface.
For information about any parameter, click

You return to the GRE Create Tunnels
List window.
7. Go to “Configuring the Remote Tunnel End
Point” on page 1-12 to configure the
remote end point of the tunnel.
