3-11
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Configure a source address
or interface for the tunnel
source { ip-address |
interface-type
interface-number }
Required
By default, no source
address or interface is
configured for the
tunnel.
Reference a link
aggregation group
aggregation-group
aggregation-group-id
Required
By default, no link
aggregation group ID
is referenced.
Caution:
z Only one automatic tunnel can be configured at the same tunnel source.
z No destination address needs to be configured for an automatic tunnel because the
destination address can automatically be obtained from the IPv4 address
embedded in the IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.
z When you create a tunnel interface on a device, the slot of the tunnel interface
should be that of the source port, namely, the port sending packets. In this way, the
forwarding efficiency can be improved.
z If the addresses of the tunnel interfaces at the two ends of a tunnel are not in the
same network segment, a forwarding route through the tunnel to the peer must be
configured so that the encapsulated packet can be forwarded normally. You can
configure static or dynamic routes. You should perform this configuration at both
ends of the tunnel.
z The automatic tunnel interfaces encapsulated with the same protocol cannot share
the same source IP address.
z Automatic tunnels do not support dynamic routing.
z When you configure a static route, you need to configure a route to the destination
address (the destination IP address of the packet, instead of the IPv4 address of the
tunnel destination) and set the next-hop to the tunnel interface number or network
address at the local end of the tunnel. Such a route must be configured at both ends
of the tunnel.
z Before referencing a link aggregation group on the tunnel interface to receive and
send packets, make sure that the aggregation group has been configured.
Otherwise, the tunnel interface will not be up to communicate.
