Adding/Editing an IPv6 Tunnel

When you add/edit an IPv6 tunnel, you are determining how an IPv6 message will reach an IPv6 device through an IPv4 network.

Configure the following parameters:

Name

The name of the IPv6 tunnel.

 

Field Format: Maximum 16 alphanumeric characters

 

Default: ipv6_tunnel1

Mode

The method or protocol that is used to create the IPv6 tunnel.

 

z Manual—When enabled, the IOLAN will manually create the IPv6 tunnel

 

to the specified Remote Host through the specified Interface.

 

z 6to4—When enabled, the IOLAN will broadcast to the multicast address

 

192.88.99.1 through the specified Interface. When the closest 6to4 router

 

responds, it will create the IPv6 tunnel, encapsulating and decapsulating

 

IPv6 traffic sent to and from the IOLAN.

 

z Teredo—When enabled, the Teredo protocol encapsulates the IPv6 packet

 

as an IPv4 UDP message, allowing it to pass through most network

 

address translator (NAT) boxes and create an IPv6 tunnel to the specified

 

Remote Host (a Teredo server) through the specified Interface.

 

Default: Manual

Remote Host

The IPv4 host that can access the IPv6 network when the Mode is Manual.

 

The Teredo server when the Mode is Teredo.

 

Default: None

Interface

The interface that the IOLAN is going to use to access the Remote Host. The

 

list is comprised of the Ethernet interface(s) and serial ports configured for the

 

Remote Access (PPP) or Remote Access (SLIP) profiles.

 

Default: Ethernet 1
