dvmrp create tunnel
Purpose
Create a DVMRP tunnel.
Format
dvmrp create tunnel
<name>
local
<ipAddr>
remote
<ipAddr>
Mode
Configure
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.
Examples
Here is an example of the
dvmrp
create
tunnel

10.5.3.78
