Tunnel Configuration
ProSafe software provides for the creation, deletion, and management of tunnel interfaces.
These are dynamic interfaces that are created and deleted via user-configuration. ProSafe
support configured IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels to facilitate the transition of IPv4 networks to IPv6
networks. With configured tunnels, the user specifies the endpoints of the tunnel. Tunnels
operate as point-to-point links.
Tunnels can be created, configured, and deleted from this page.
To display the Tunnel Configuration page, click Routing IPv6 Advanced Tunnel
Configuration.
To configure an IPv6 tunnel:
1. Use Tunnel ID to select from a list of all of available tunnel IDs.
2. Use Mode to select the Tunnel mode. The supported modes are 6-in-4-configured and
6-to-4.
3. Use IPv6 Mode to enable IPv6 on this interface using the IPv6 address. This option is only
configurable prior to specifying an explicit IPv6 address.
4. Use IPv6 Unreachables to specify the Mode of Sending ICMPv6 Destination Unreachables
on this interface. If Disabled then this interface will not send ICMPv6 Destination
Unreachables. By default IPv6 Destination Unreachables mode is enable.
5. Use IPv6 Address to select a list of configured IPv6 addresses for the selected interface.
Address must be entered in the format prefix/length.
6. Use EUI64 to specify the 64-bit extended unique identifier (EUI-64). For 6to4 tunnels,
configure the ipv6 address with first 48-bits in the format
2002:tunnel-source-ipv4-address::/48.
7. Use Source Address to specify the desired source address. The source address for this
tunnel must be entered in dotted decimal notation.
8. Use Source Interface to specify the source interface for this tunnel. The address associated
with the selected interface will be used as the source address.
