Ipinip Tunneling - Cisco SCE8000 Configuration Manual

Tunneling Protocols
How to Configure IP Tunnels
By default, IP tunnel recognition is disabled. Use this command to configure recognition of L2TP
tunnels and skipping into the internal IP packet.
Step 1 From the SCE(config if)# prompt, type ip-tunnel L2TP skip and press Enter.
To disable IP tunnels, use the following command:
From the SCE(config if)# prompt, type no ip-tunnel and press Enter.
Step 1
The IP tunneling mode is mutually exclusive with VPN-based classification.

IPinIP Tunneling

•
IPinIP is an IP-based tunneling protocol; therefore the system must be specifically configured to
recognize the flows inside the tunnel. The SCE platform will then skip the external IP header, reaching
the internal IP, which is the actual subscriber traffic. When IPinIP skip is disabled, the system treats the
external IP header as the subscriber traffic, resulting in all IPinIP traffic being reported as generic IP.
Guidelines for configuring IPinIP tunnels:

Fragmentation
Fragmentation should be avoided whenever possible. If it is not possible to avoid fragmentation, it is
recommended to opt for internal fragmentation. If that is also not possible, the SCE platform can be
operated under conditions of external fragmentation
Enabling IPinIP Tunneling
By default, IP tunnel recognition is disabled. Use this command to configure recognition of IPinIP
tunnels and skipping into the internal IP packet.
From the SCE(config-if)# prompt, type ip-tunnel IPinIP skip and press Enter.

DSCP Marking for IPinIP Tunnels, page 6-5
IPinIP and other tunnels: IPinIP is supported simultaneously with plain IP traffic and any other
tunneling protocol supported by the SCE platform.
Overlapping IP addresses: There is no support for overlapping IP addresses within different IPinIP
tunnels.
DSCP marking: For IPinIP traffic, DSCP marking can be done on either the external or the internal
IP header exclusively. See Disabling IPinIP Tunneling, page
