Configuring Tunnel Interfaces

Configuring Tunnel Interfaces

Purpose

The commands in this section describe how to create, delete, and manage tunnel interfaces. Several different types of tunnels provide functionality to facilitate the transition of IPv4 networks to IPv6 networks. These tunnels are divided into two classes: 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.

For information about configuring IPv6 parameters on tunnel interfaces, such as an IPv6 address, see Chapter 22, IPv6 Configuration.

Note: IPv6 routing must be enabled with an IPv6 routing license key in order for these commands to be visible in the CLI.
