Configuring A Gre Over Ipv6 Tunnel; Configuration Prerequisites; Configuration Guidelines - HP 3600 v2 Series Configuration Manual

Step
3. Configure an IPv4 address for
the tunnel interface.
4. Set the tunnel mode to GRE
over IPv4.
5. Configure the source address
or interface for the tunnel
interface.
6. Configure the destination
address for the tunnel
interface.
7. Configure a route for packet
forwarding through the
tunnel.
8. Return to system view.
9. Configure the device to
discard the IPv4-compatible
IPv6 packets.

Configuring a GRE over IPv6 tunnel

Configuration prerequisites

On each of the peer devices, configure an IP address for the interface to be used as the source
•
interface of the tunnel interface (for example, a VLAN interface or a loopback interface), and make
sure that this interface can normally communicate with the interface used as the source interface of
the tunnel interface on the peer device.
Create a service loopback group, specify its service type as tunnel, and add an available Layer 2
•
Ethernet port to the service loopback group. For more information about the service loopback group,
see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.

Configuration guidelines

Deleting a tunnel interface also removes the functions configured on this tunnel interface.

Remarks
By default, a tunnel interface has
no IPv4 address.
Optional.
By default, the tunnel is a GRE over
IPv4 tunnel.
You must configure the same tunnel
mode on both ends of a tunnel.
Otherwise, packet delivery will
fail.
By default, no source address or
interface is configured for a tunnel
interface.
By default, no destination address
is configured for a tunnel interface.
Each end of the tunnel must have a
route (static or dynamic) through
the tunnel to the other end.
N/A
Optional.
By default, the device does not
discard the IPv4-compatible IPv6
packets.
