11.4.4 Configuring a 6to4 Tunnel

A 6to4 tunnel is a P2MP tunnel and can interconnect IPv6 networks which are isolated from
each other through an IPv4 network.
Context

Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface tunnel interface-number
A tunnel interface is created.
Step 3 Run:
tunnel-protocol ipv6-ipv4 6to4
The tunnel is specified as a 6to4 tunnel.
Step 4 Run:
source { ip-address | interface-type interface-number }
The source address or source interface of the tunnel is specified.
Step 5 Run:
ipv6 enable
IPv6 is enabled on the interface.
Step 6 Run:
ipv6 address { ipv6-address prefix-length | ipv6-address/prefix-length }
The interface is configured with an IPv6 address.

Before configuring other parameters of the tunnel, create a tunnel interface.
When the specified source interface of the tunnel is a physical interface, it is recommended
to set the tunnel ID to be the same as the number of the physical interface.
When configuring a 6to4 tunnel, you need to specify only the source tunnel interface. The
destination address of the tunnel is automatically obtained from the destination IP address
field carried in the original IPv6 packet. Note that the source interface of the 6to4 tunnel
must be unique.
On the border device, configure a 6to4 address on the interface that is connected with the
6to4 network, and configure an IPv4 address on the interface that is connected with the
IPv4 network. To make the tunnel support the routing protocol, configure an IP address for
the tunnel interface.
