Configuring an IPv6 manual tunnel

Configuration prerequisites

Configure IP addresses for interfaces (such as the VLAN interface, and loopback interface) on the device
to ensure normal communication. One of the interfaces will be used as the source interface of the tunnel.

Configuration guidelines

Follow these guidelines when you configure an IPv6 manual tunnel:
After a tunnel interface is deleted, all the features configured on the tunnel interface will be deleted.
•
• Specify public addresses or interfaces as the source and destination addresses or interfaces.
To encapsulate and forward IPv6 packets whose destination address does not belong to the subnet
•
where the current tunnel interface resides, you must configure a static route or dynamic routing for
forwarding those packets through this tunnel interface. If you configure a static route to that
destination IPv6 address, specify this tunnel interface as the outbound interface, or the peer tunnel
interface address as the next hop. A similar configuration is required at the other tunnel end. If you
configure dynamic routing at both ends, enable the dynamic routing protocol on both tunnel
interfaces. For the detailed configuration, see Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.
Command
mtu mtu-size

Remarks
Optional.
The default MTU of the tunnel interface
depends on the status of the interface.
•
If the tunnel interface is down, the
default MTU is 64000 bytes.
•
If the tunnel interface is up, the default
MTU is automatically generated.
If you choose to manually set the MTU,
make sure the same MTU is configured
for all tunnel interfaces.
An MTU set on any tunnel interface is
effective on all existing tunnel interfaces.
If you use this command multiple times,
the most recent configuration takes
effect.
Optional.
By default, the bandwidth of the tunnel
interface is 64 kbps.
Optional.
Optional.
By default, the interface is up.
