Tunnels The PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024 switches support the creation, deletion, and management of tunnel interfaces. These are dynamic interfaces that are created and deleted through user-configuration. Each switch also supports the functionality of a 6to4 border router that connects a 6to4 site to a 6to4 domain. It sends and receives tunneled traffic from routers in a 6to4 domain that includes other 6to4 border routers and 6to4 relay routers. There are two classes of tunnels that facilitate the transition of IPv4 networks to IPv6 networks: configured and automatic. The distinction is that configured tunnels are explicitly configured with a destination or endpoint of the tunnel. Automatic tunnels, in contrast, infer the endpoint of the tunnel from the destination address of packets routed into the tunnel. The PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024 supports point-to-point tunnels. Point-to-point interfaces provide for routing based only on the interface (an explicit next-hop address need not be specified), and allow for the definition of unnumbered interfaces. The Tunnels menu page contains links to web pages that configure and display tunnel parameters and data. To display this page, click Routing > Tunnels in the tree view.

Configuring Routing

Tunnels

The PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024

switches support

the creation, deletion, and management of

tunnel interfaces. These are dynamic interfaces that are created and deleted through user-configuration.

Each switch also supports the functionality of a 6to4 border router that connects a 6to4 site to a 6to4

domain. It sends and receives tunneled traffic from routers in a 6to4 domain that includes other 6to4

border routers and 6to4 relay routers.

There are two classes of tunnels that facilitate the transition of IPv4 networks to IPv6 networks:

configured and automatic. The distinction is that configured tunnels are explicitly configured with a

destination or endpoint of the tunnel. Automatic tunnels, in contrast, infer the endpoint of the tunnel

from the destination address of packets routed into the tunnel.

The PowerConnect M6220/M6348/M8024 supports point-to-point tunnels. Point-to-point interfaces

provide for routing based only on the interface (an explicit next-hop address need not be specified), and

allow for the definition of unnumbered interfaces.
