Configuring the destination VLAN or brouter port
Use the following procedure to configure a tunnel for IPv6 VLANs or brouter ports to
communicate through an IPv4 network. Manual tunnels are point-to-point, so you configure
both source and destination addresses. You must configure both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses for
both source and destination devices. The IPv6 addresses must represent the same network,
for example 6666::1/96 and 6666::2/96.
Procedure steps
1. In the navigation tree, open the following folders: Configuration, IPv6 .
2. Double-click Tunnel .
3. Click Insert .
4. In the LocalAddress box, click the button and select the IPv4 address for the
destination VLAN or brouter port.
5. In the RemoteAddress box, type the IPv4 address for the local VLAN or brouter
port.
6. In the EncapsMethod area, select manual .
7. In the ID box, type a number to represent the tunnel.
8. In the IPv6AddressAddr box, type the IPv6 address that you configured for the
tunnel VLAN or brouter port for the destination VLAN or brouter port.
9. In the IPv6AddressPrefixLength box, type the number of bits to advertise in the
IPv6 address.
10. Click Insert .
After you create the tunnel, the Local Address tab displays the IPv4 addresses
associated with the tunnel.
