}
Required
By default, no source address or
interface is configured for the tunnel.
z
No destination address needs to be configured for a 6to4 tunnel because the destination address
can automatically be obtained from the IPv4 address embedded in the 6to4 IPv6 address.
z
To encapsulate and forward IPv6 packets whose destination address does not belong to the
network segment where the receiving tunnel interface resides, you need to configure a static
route or dynamic routing for forwarding those packets through this tunnel interface. Because
automatic tunnels do not support dynamic routing, you can configure a static route to that
destination IPv6 address with this tunnel interface as the outbound interface or the peer tunnel
interface as the next hop. A similar configuration needs to be performed at the other tunnel end.
For the detailed configuration,
see IPv6
Static Routing Configuration
or
other routing protocol
configurations in the Layer 3 - IP Routing Configuration Guide.
z
The automatic tunnel interfaces using the same encapsulation protocol cannot share the same
source IP address.
6to4 Tunnel Configuration Example
Network requirements
, two 6to4 networks are connected to an IPv4 network through two 6to4
switches (Switch A and Switch B) respectively. Configure a 6to4 tunnel to make Host A and Host B
reachable to each other.
To enable communication between 6to4 networks, you need to configure 6to4 addresses for 6to4
switches and hosts in the 6to4 networks.
z
The IPv4 address of VLAN-interface 100 on Switch A is 2.1.1.1/24, and the corresponding 6to4
prefix is 2002:0201:0101::/48 after it is translated to an IPv6 address. Assign interface tunnel 0 to
subnet 2002:0201:0101::/64 and VLAN-interface 101 to subnet 2002:0201:0101:1::/64.
z
The IPv4 address of VLAN-interface 100 on Switch B is 5.1.1.1/24, and the corresponding 6to4
prefix is 2002:0501:0101::/48 after it is translated to an IPv6 address. Assign interface tunnel 0 to
subnet 2002:0501:0101::/64 and VLAN-interface 101 to subnet 2002:0501:0101:1::/64.
