178 SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual
dvmrp create tunnel
Purpose
Creates a DVMRP tunnel.
Format
dvmrp create tunnel <name> local <ipAddr> remote <ipAddr>
Mode

Description
The dvmrp create tunnel command creates a DVMRP tunnel for sending multicast traffic
between two end points.
Parameters
<name> Name of this DVMRP tunnel.
local <ipAddr> IP address of the local end point of this tunnel.
Note:
The local IP address must already be configured on the SSR.
remote <ipAddr> IP address of the remote end point of this tunnel.
Restrictions
• Tunnels use unicast routing principles. Make sure a route exists between the tunnel
source and destination (local <ipAddr> and remote <ipAddr>) you specify.
• An IP interface has to exist before a tunnel can be created from it.
Note:
A good way to confirm that a tunnel exists is to ping the other end of the
tunnel.
• Tunnels cannot be created between two endpoints (that is, on the same subnet).
• A maximum of eight tunnels are allowed.
