Configuration example

As shown in Figure 130, configure an IPv4 over IPv6 manual tunnel between Router A and Router B so the two networks can reach each other over the IPv6 network.

Make sure Router A and Router B can reach each other through IPv6.

• Configure Router A:

  # Specify an IPv4 address for GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

  <RouterA> system-view
  [RouterA] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
  [RouterA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] ip address 30.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
  [RouterA-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
  

  # Specify an IPv6 address for Serial 2/1/0, which is the physical interface of the tunnel.

  [RouterA] interface serial 2/1/0
  [RouterA-Serial2/1/0] ipv6 address 2001::1:1 64
  [RouterA-Serial2/1/0] quit
  

  # Create the IPv6 tunnel interface Tunnel 1.

  [RouterA] interface tunnel 1 mode ipv6
  

  # Specify an IPv4 address for the tunnel interface.

  [RouterA-Tunnel1] ip address 30.1.2.1 255.255.255.0
  

  # Specify the IP address of Serial 2/1/0 as the source address for the tunnel interface.

  [RouterA-Tunnel1] source 2001::1:1
  

  # Specify the IP address of Serial 2/1/1 on Router B as the destination address for the tunnel interface.

  [RouterA-Tunnel1] destination 2002::2:1
  [RouterA-Tunnel1] quit
  

  # Configure a static route destined for IPv4 network 2 through the tunnel interface.

  [RouterA] ip route-static 30.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 tunnel 1
  

• Configure Router B:

  # Specify an IPv4 address for GigabitEthernet 1/0/1.

  <RouterB> system-view
  [RouterB] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
  [RouterB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] ip address 30.1.3.1 255.255.255.0
  [RouterB-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] quit
  

  # Specify an IPv6 address for Serial 2/1/1, which is the physical interface of the tunnel.

  [RouterB] interface serial 2/1/1
  [RouterB-Serial2/1/1] ipv6 address 2002::2:1 64
  [RouterB-Serial2/1/1] quit
  

  # Create the IPv6 tunnel interface Tunnel 2.

  [RouterB] interface tunnel 2 mode ipv6
  

  # Specify an IPv4 address for the tunnel interface.

  [RouterB-Tunnel2] ip address 30.1.2.2 255.255.255.0
  

  # Specify the IP address of Serial 2/1/1 as the source address for the tunnel interface.

  [RouterB-Tunnel2] source 2002::2:1
  

  # Specify the IP address of Serial 2/1/0 on Router A as the destination address for the tunnel interface.

  [RouterB-Tunnel2] destination 2001::1:1
  [RouterB-Tunnel2] quit
  

  # Configure a static route destined for IPv4 network 1 through the tunnel interface.

  [RouterB] ip route-static 30.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 tunnel 2
  

# Use the display interface tunnel command to display the status of the tunnel interfaces on Router A and Router B. Verify that the tunnel interfaces are up. (Details not shown.)

# Verify that Router A and Router B can ping the IPv4 address of the peer interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1. This example uses Router A.

[RouterA] ping -a 30.1.1.1 30.1.3.1
