Configuring Tunnel Interfaces
Configuring Tunnel Interfaces
Purpose
The commands in this section describe how to create, delete, and manage tunnel interfaces.
Several different types of tunnels provide functionality to facilitate the transition of IPv4 networks
to IPv6 networks. These tunnels are divided into two classes: configured and automatic. The
distinction is that configured tunnels are explicitly configured with a destination or endpoint of
the tunnel. Automatic tunnels, in contrast, infer the endpoint of the tunnel from the destination
address of packets routed into the tunnel.
For information about configuring IPv6 parameters on tunnel interfaces, such as an IPv6 address,
