Configuration procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2. Enter IPv6 over IPv4 manual tunnel interface view.

interface tunnel number [ mode ipv6-ipv4 ]

N/A

3. Specify an IPv6 address for the tunnel interface.

See "Configuring basic IPv6 settings."

By default, no IPv6 address is configured for the tunnel interface.

4. Configure a source address or source interface for the tunnel interface.

source { ipv4-address | interface-type interface-number }

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

If you specify a source address, it is used as the source IP address of tunneled packets.

If you specify a source interface, the primary IP address of this interface is used as the source IP address of tunneled packets.

5. Configure a destination address for the tunnel interface.

destination ipv4-address

By default, no destination address is configured for the tunnel interface.

The tunnel destination address must be the IP address of the receiving interface on the tunnel peer. It is used as the destination IP address of tunneled packets.

6. (Optional.) Set the DF bit for tunneled packets.

tunnel dfbit enable

By default, the DF bit is not set for tunneled packets.

7. Return to system view.

quit

N/A

8. (Optional.) Enable dropping IPv6 packets that use IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses.

tunnel discard ipv4-compatible-packet

By default, IPv6 packets that use IPv4-compatible IPv6 packets are not dropped.
