Configuring an ISATAP Tunnel

Context

When configuring an ISATAP tunnel, note the following points:

  • You must create a tunnel interface before setting tunnel parameters.

  • You are advised to set the tunnel number to be the same as the number of the source physical interface of the tunnel, when the specified tunnel source interface is a physical interface.

  • You need to configure an IPv6 address for the interface that connects a border device to the IPv6 network, and an IPv4 address for the interface that connects a border device to the IPv4 network. You also need to configure an ISATAP address with a 64-bit prefix-length as the IPv6 address of the tunnel interface to support a dynamic routing protocol.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface tunnel interface-number

    A tunnel interface is created.

  3. Run tunnel-protocol ipv6-ipv4 isatap

    The tunnel mode is set to ISATAP.

  4. Run eth-trunk trunk-id
  5. Run source { source-ip-address | interface-type interface-number }

    A source address or source interface is specified for the tunnel.

  6. Run ipv6 enable

    The IPv6 function is enabled on the interface.

  7. Run ipv6 address { ipv6-address prefix-length | ipv6-address/prefix-length } eui-64

    An IPv6 address is configured for the tunnel interface.

  8. Run undo ipv6 nd ra halt

    The device is enabled to send router advertisement (RA) packets.
