Tunnel Interface Commands
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. To assign an IP
address to the tunnel interface, see ip address on page 228. To assign an IPv6 address to
the tunnel interface, see ipv6 address on page 359.

interface tunnel

Use this command to enter the Interface Config mode for a tunnel interface. The
<tunnel-id> range is 0–7.
Format interface tunnel <tunnel-id>
Mode
no interface tunnel
This command removes the tunnel interface and associated configuration parameters for the
specified tunnel interface.
Format no interface tunnel <tunnel-id>
Mode

tunnel source

This command specifies the source transport address of the tunnel, either explicitly or by
reference to an interface.
Format tunnel source {<ipv4-address> | ethernet <slot/port>}
Mode

tunnel destination

This command specifies the destination transport address of the tunnel.
Format tunnel destination {<ipv4-address>}
