IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels
To enable communication between isolated IPv6 domains using the IPv4 infrastructure, you can manually configure IPv6 over IPv4
tunnels that provide static point-point connectivity.
As shown in the following illustration, these tunnels encapsulate an IPv6 packet within an IPv4 packet.
FIGURE 11
IPv6 over an IPv4 tunnel
A manually configured tunnel establishes a permanent link between switches in IPv6 domains. A manually configured tunnel has
explicitly configured IPv4 addresses for the tunnel source and destination.
This tunneling mechanism requires that the Layer 3 switch at each end of the tunnel run both IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks. The Layer
3 switches running both protocol stacks, or dual-stack routers, can interoperate directly with both IPv4 and IPv6 end systems and
routers. Refer to the "Configuring IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks" section in the
Brocade FastIron Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide
.
IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel configuration notes
•
The local tunnel configuration must include both source and destination addresses.
•
The remote side of the tunnel must have the opposite source/destination pair.
•
A tunnel interface supports static and dynamic IPv6 configuration settings and routing protocols.
•
Duplicate Address Detection (DAD) is not currently supported with IPv6 tunnels. Make sure tunnel endpoints do not have
duplicate IP addresses.
•
Neighbor Discovery (ND) is not supported with IPv6 tunnels.
•
If a tunnel source port is a multi-homed IPv4 source, the tunnel will use the first IPv4 address only. For proper tunnel operation,
use the
ip address
option.
Configuring a manual IPv6 tunnel
You can use a manually configured tunnel to connect two isolated IPv6 domains. You should deploy this point-to-point tunneling
mechanism if you need a permanent and stable connection.
