The destination address specified for the local tunnel interface must be the source address specified

for the peer tunnel interface, and vice versa.

The source/destination addresses of local tunnels of the same tunnel mode cannot be the same.

The IPv6 address of the tunnel interface must not be on the same subnet as the destination address

configured for the tunnel interface.

If the destination IPv6 network is not on the same subnet as the IPv6 address of the local tunnel
interface, you must configure a route destined for the destination IPv6 network through the tunnel

interface. You can configure a static route, and specify the local tunnel interface as the egress

interface or specify the IPv6 address of the peer tunnel interface as the next hop. Alternatively, you

can enable a dynamic routing protocol on both tunnel interfaces to achieve the same purpose. For
the detailed configuration, see Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

The destination address of the route passing the tunnel interface must not be on the same subnet as
the destination address configured for the tunnel interface.

To configure an IPv6 over IPv6 tunnel:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter IPv6 tunnel interface

view.

interface tunnel number [ mode
ipv6 ]

N/A

3.

Configure an IPv6 address for

the tunnel interface.

For configuration details, see
"

Configuring basic IPv6 settings

."

No IPv6 address is configured for
the tunnel interface by default.

4.

Configure the source address
or source interface for the

tunnel interface.

source { ipv6-address |
interface-type interface-number }

By default, no source address or
interface is configured for the

tunnel.
The specified source address or
the IPv6 address of the specified

source interface is used as the

source IPv6 address of tunneled

packets.

5.

Configure the destination

address for the tunnel
interface.

destination ipv6-address

By default, no destination
address is configured for the
tunnel.
The tunnel destination address
must be the IPv6 address of the

receiving interface on the tunnel
peer. It is used as the destination

IPv6 address of tunneled packets.

6.

Return to system view.

quit

N/A

7.

(Optional.) Enable dropping

of IPv6 packets using
IPv4-compatible IPv6

addresses.

tunnel discard
ipv4-compatible-packet

The default setting is disabled.
