Using the BCC
To configure a remote tunnel end point, you must:
1.
Configure the remote physical end point.
2.
Configure the remote logical interface.
Step 1. Configuring a Remote Physical End Point
To configure a remote tunnel end point, navigate to the GRE tunnel interface
prompt (for example,
box; tunnels; gre/boston
) and enter:
remote-endpoint
<name>
address
<address>
name
is the unique name for the remote end of the tunnel.
address is the valid IP address of the router interface at the remote end of the GRE
tunnel entered in dotted-decimal notation.
For example, the following command sequence configures the remote end point
austin with the physical interface 197.1.2.4 and verifies the entry:
gre/boston#
remote-endpoint austin address 197.1.2.4
remote-endpoint/austin#
info
name austin
address 197.1.2.4
logical-ip-address 0.0.0.1
logical-ipx-address 000000000001
state enabled
Note:
When you configure a remote physical end point, the BCC
automatically inserts a default address value for the remote logical interfaces.
For IP, the default address is 0.0.0.1; for IPX, it is 000000000001. These
addresses are not valid. Until you configure valid logical addresses, the tunnel
will not come up.
