Adding/Editing an IPv6 Tunnel
When you add/edit an IPv6 tunnel, you are determining how an IPv6 message will reach an IPv6
device through an IPv4 network.
Configure the following parameters:
Name The name of the IPv6 tunnel.
Field Format: Maximum 16 alphanumeric characters
Default: ipv6_tunnel1
Mode The method or protocol that is used to create the IPv6 tunnel.
z Manual—When enabled, the IOLAN will manually create the IPv6 tunnel
to the specified
Remote Host through the specified Interface.
z 6to4—When enabled, the IOLAN will broadcast to the multicast address
192.88.99.1 through the specified
Interface. When the closest 6to4 router
responds, it will create the IPv6 tunnel, encapsulating and decapsulating
IPv6 traffic sent to and from the IOLAN.
z Teredo—When enabled, the Teredo protocol encapsulates the IPv6 packet
as an IPv4 UDP message, allowing it to pass through most network
address translator (NAT) boxes and create an IPv6 tunnel to the specified
Remote Host (a Teredo server) through the specified Interface.
Default: Manual
Remote Host The IPv4 host that can access the IPv6 network when the Mode is Manual.
The Teredo server when the
Mode is Teredo.
Default: None
Interface The interface that the IOLAN is going to use to access the Remote Host. The
list is comprised of the Ethernet interface(s) and serial ports configured for the
Remote Access (PPP) or Remote Access (SLIP) profiles.
Default: Ethernet 1
