For Ethernet failover, nonshared IP, you do not need a reserved IP address.
DUAL-Mode, Configured Tunnel
Example 1-10 on page 1-20 shows how to configure the subsystem with a configured
tunnel. This configuration is shown in Figure 5-5.
In NonStop TCP/IPv6, after you establish the TCP6MON in DUAL mode and you add
an INET type SUBNET (IPv4), an automatic tunnel SUBNET named TUN is added to
the system. If you want to create another tunnel, add a SUBNET of TYPE TUN (with a
name starting with IPT) and specify both source and destination IP addresses.
A configured tunnel allows full IPv6 addressing and functionality between your host
and another IPv6 host over an IPv4 network. Automatic tunneling requires no
configuration and also lets you communicate over an IPv4 network but automatic
tunneling is limited to IPv4 addressing and functionality.
This example shows that:
•
First you add and start a DUAL-mode SUBNET
•
The next step is to add a SUBNET of TYPE TUNNEL and ALTER it to bring up
IPv6.
The IPTSRC and IPTDST attributes set the IPv4 source and destination addresses
in the encapsulating header. These addresses are local and destination end points
for data communications. The local endpoint SUBNET, in this case SN3 with
address 172.14.215.27, must be configured before you add the configured tunnel.
(For more information about tunnels, see How IPv6 Tunnels Work
on page A-18.)
