IPv6 Tunnel
Tunnels enable transmission of IPv6 packets over IPv4 networks. Each tunnel has a
source IPv4 address and a destination IPv4 address. The IPv6 packet is
encapsulated between these addresses.
NOTE ISATAP tunnels can only be activated on the device when IPv6 routing is not
enabled, and only the IPv6 management interface can be tunneled. To create an
IPv6 tunnel, define an IPv6 interface as a tunnel in the IPv6 Interfaces page and
continue configuring the tunnel in the IPv6 tunnel page.

Types of Tunnels

Two types of tunnels can be configured on the device, as follows:
ISATAP Tunnel
The Intra-Site Auto matic Tunnel Addressin g Protocol (ISATAP) is a point-to-
multi-point tunnel. The source address is the IPv4 address (or one of the
IPv4 addresses) of the device.
When configuring an ISATAP tunnel, the destination IPv4 address is
provided by the router. Note that:
-An IPv6 link local address is assigned to the ISATAP interface. The initial
IP address is assigned to the interface, which is then activated.
-If an ISATAP interface is active, the ISATAP router IPv4 address is
resolved via DNS by using ISATAP-to-IPv4 mapping. If the ISATAP DNS
