Caution IP-over-CLNS tunnels require two end points. You will create one point on an ONS 15454. The other end point is generally provisioned on non-ONS equipment including routers and other network elements (NE). Before you begin, verify that you have the capability to create an OSI over IP tunnel on the other equipment location.

Step 1 In node view, click the Provisioning > OSI > Tunnels tabs.

Step 2 Click Create.

Step 3 In the Create IP Over OSI Tunnel dialog box, complete the following fields:

•Tunnel Type—Choose a tunnel type:

–Cisco—Creates the proprietary Cisco IP tunnel. Cisco IP tunnels add the CLNS header to the IP packets.

–GRE—Creates a Generic Routing Encapsulation tunnel. GRE tunnels add the CLNS header and a GRE header to the IP packets.

The Cisco proprietary tunnel is slightly more efficient than the GRE tunnel because it does not add the GRE header to each IP packet. The two tunnel types are not compatible. Most Cisco routers support the Cisco IP tunnel, while only a few support both GRE and Cisco IP tunnels. You generally should create Cisco IP tunnels if you are tunneling between two Cisco routers or between a Cisco router and an ONS node.

Caution Always verify that the IP-over-CLNS tunnel type you choose is supported by the equipment at the other end of the tunnel.

•IP Address—Enter the IP address of the IP-over-CLNS tunnel destination.

•IP Mask—Enter the IP address subnet mask of the IP-over-CLNS destination.

•OSPF Metric—Enter the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) metric for sending packets across the IP-over-CLNS tunnel. The OSPF metric, or cost, is used by OSPF routers to calculate the shortest path. The default is 110. Normally, it is not be changed unless you are creating multiple tunnel routes and want to prioritize routing by assigning different metrics.

•NSAP Address—Enter the destination NE or OSI router NSAP address.

Step 4 Click OK.
