Configuring a tunnel interface

Configure a Layer 3 virtual tunnel interface on each device on a tunnel so that devices at both ends can
send, identify, and process packets from the tunnel.
The switch cannot directly route a tunneled packet based on the packet's destination address. The packet
is sent to a tunnel-type service loopback group, which then delivers the packet to the forwarding module
for Layer 3 forwarding. Therefore, you must configure a tunnel-type service loopback group. Otherwise,
the tunnel interface will fail to forward and receive packets. For information about service loopback
group, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
To configure a tunnel interface:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a tunnel interface,
specify the tunnel mode, and
enter tunnel interface view.
3. (Optional.) Configure a
description for the interface.
4. (Optional.) Specify an IRF
member device for forwarding
the traffic on the tunnel interface.

Remarks
N/A
By default, no tunnel interface is
created.
When you create a new tunnel
interface, you must specify the tunnel
mode. When you enter the view of an
existing tunnel interface, you do not
need to specify the tunnel mode.
The two ends of a tunnel must use the
same tunnel mode. Otherwise,
packet tunneling will fail.
By default, the description of a tunnel
interface is Tunnel number Interface.
By default, no IRF member device is
specified.
