Summary
The IPIP tunneling implementation on the MikroTik RouterOS is RFC 2003 compliant. IPIP tunnel
is a simple protocol that encapsulates IP packets in IP to make a tunnel between two routers. The
IPIP tunnel interface appears as an interface under the interface list. Many routers, including Cisco
and Linux based, support this protocol. This protocol makes multiple network schemes possible.
IP tunneling protocol adds the following possibilities to a network setups:
•
to tunnel Intranets over the Internet
•
to use it instead of source routing
Quick Setup Guide
To make an IPIP tunnel between 2 MikroTik routers with IP addresses 10.5.8.104 and 10.1.0.172,
using IPIP tunnel addresses 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2, follow the next steps.
•
Configuration on router with IP address 10.5.8.104:
1.
Add an IPIP interface (by default, its name will be ipip1):
[[email protected]] interface ipip> add local-address=10.5.8.104 \
remote-address=10.1.0.172 disabled=no
2.
Add an IP address to created ipip1 interface:
[[email protected]] ip address> add address=10.0.0.1/24 interface=ipip1
•
Configuration on router with IP address 10.1.0.172:
