7.6 Tunnel Interfaces
The ZyWALL uses tunnel interfaces in Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), IPv6 in IPv4, and 6to4
tunnels.
GRE Tunneling
GRE tunnels encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocol packet types inside IP tunnels. A
GRE tunnel serves as a virtual point-to-point link between the ZyWALL and another router over an
IPv4 network. At the time of writing, the ZyWALL only supports GRE tunneling in IPv4 networks.

GRE Tunnel Example
IPv6 Over IPv4 Tunnels
To route traffic between two IPv6 networks over an IPv4 network, an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel has to
be used.
Figure 87
IPv6 over IPv4 Network
On the ZyWALL, you can either set up a manual IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel or an automatic 6to4 tunnel.
The following describes each method:
