tunnel-mode
Enable a tunnel interface.
Syntax
tunnel mode {ipip | ipv6 | ipv6ip}[decapsulate-any]
To disable an active tunnel interface, use the no tunnel mode command.
Parameters
ipip
Enable tunnel in RFC 2003 mode and encapsulate IPv4 and/or IPv6 datagrams
inside an IPv4 tunnel.
ipv6
Enable tunnel in RFC 2473 mode and encapsulate IPv4 and/or IPv6 datagrams
inside an IPv6 tunnel.
ipv6ip
Enable tunnel in RFC 4213 mode and encapsulate IPv6 datagrams inside an IPv4

Command
History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.4(0.0) Added the decapsulate-any command.
9.2(0.0) Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
To enable a tunnel interface, use this command. You must define a tunnel mode for the tunnel to function.
If you previously defined the tunnel destination or source address, the tunnel mode must be compatible.
Including the decapsulate-any option causes the command to fail if any of the following tunnel transmit
options are configured: tunnel destination, tunnel dscp, tunnel flow-label, tunnel hop-limit, or tunnel
keepalive. Conversely, if you configure any tunnel allow-remote entries, the tunnelmode command
fails unless the decapsulate-any option is included
Configuration of IPv6 commands over decapsulate-any tunnel causes an error.
