Configuring a GRE over IPv6 tunnel Follow these guidelines when you configure a GRE over IPv6 tunnel: • You must configure the tunnel source address and destination address at both ends of a tunnel, and the tunnel source or destination address at one end must be the tunnel destination or source address at the other end. • Local tunnel interfaces using the same encapsulation protocol must not have the same tunnel source and destination addresses. • You can use the following methods to configure a route to a destination over the GRE tunnel: { Configure a static route, using the destination address of the original packet as the destination address of the route and the address of the peer tunnel interface as the next hop. { Enable a dynamic routing protocol on both the tunnel interface and the interface connecting the private network, so the dynamic routing protocol can establish a routing entry with the tunnel interface as the outgoing interface. • The IP address of the tunnel interface and the tunnel destination address configured on the tunnel interface must be in different subnets. Configuration prerequisites • Configure an IPv6 address for the interface (such as a VLAN interface, or a Loopback interface) to be used as the source interface of the tunnel interface. • Create a service Loopback group, specify its service type as tunnel, and add an available Ethernet interface to the service Loopback group. For more information about service Loopback groups, see Layer 2-LAN Switching Configuration Guide. Configuration procedure To configure a GRE over IPv6 tunnel: Step 1. Enter system view.

Configuring a GRE over IPv6 tunnel
Follow these guidelines when you configure a GRE over IPv6 tunnel:
You must configure the tunnel source address and destination address at both ends of a tunnel, and
the tunnel source or destination address at one end must be the tunnel destination or source address
at the other end.
Local tunnel interfaces using the same encapsulation protocol must not have the same tunnel source
and destination addresses.
You can use the following methods to configure a route to a destination over the GRE tunnel:
{
Configure a static route, using the destination address of the original packet as the destination
address of the route and the address of the peer tunnel interface as the next hop.
{
Enable a dynamic routing protocol on both the tunnel interface and the interface connecting the
private network, so the dynamic routing protocol can establish a routing entry with the tunnel
interface as the outgoing interface.
The IP address of the tunnel interface and the tunnel destination address configured on the tunnel
interface must be in different subnets.
Configuration prerequisites
Configure an IPv6 address for the interface (such as a VLAN interface, or a Loopback interface) to
be used as the source interface of the tunnel interface.
Create a service Loopback group, specify its service type as tunnel, and add an available Ethernet
interface to the service Loopback group. For more information about service Loopback groups, see
Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide
.
Configuration procedure
To configure a GRE over IPv6 tunnel:
Step
Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Create a GRE over IPv6 tunnel
interface and enter its view.
interface tunnel
interface-number
mode
gre ipv6
By default, the device has no
tunnel interface.
You must configure the same
tunnel mode on both ends of a
tunnel. Otherwise, packet delivery
might fail.
3.
Configure an IPv4 or IPv6
address for the tunnel
interface.
For information about how to
assign an IPv4 address to an
interface, see "
Configuring IP
addressing
."
For information about how to
assign an IPv6 address to an
interface, see "
Configuring basic
IPv6 settings
."
By default, no IPv4 or IPv6 address
is configured for a tunnel interface.
When the passenger protocol is
IPv4, configure an IPv4 address for
the tunnel interface. When the
passenger protocol is IPv6,
configure an IPv6 address for the
tunnel interface.
