IPV6 TO IPV4 TUNNELS
This switch supports connection between isolated IPv6 nodes over IPv4
networks using manually configured tunnels (RFC 2893), as well as the
connection of isolated IPv6 domains over IPv4 clouds without explicit
tunnel configuration (RFC 3056).
COMMAND USAGE
To create a manually configured or automatically configured tunnel, follow
these steps:
1. Configure a VLAN with the vlan command.
2. Assign the ports which will use this VLAN for local services, and those
which will form the entry point for the IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel (using the
switchport allowed vlan command.
3. Assign an IPv4 address to the VLAN to serve as the source (or local end
point) of the tunnel using the ip address command.
4. Create an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel using the interface tunnel command.
5. Set the tunnel mode to “configured” for host-to-router or router-to-
router connections, or “6to4” for router-to-host or host-to-host
connections using the tunnel mode ipv6ip command.
