IPv6 GRE Configuration

IPv6 Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) encapsulates the packets of certain network layer protocols so that the encapsulated packets can be transmitted over the IPv6 network.

Only the NetEngine 8000 F1A supports this feature.

Configuration Precautions for IPv6 GRE

Configuring an IPv6 GRE Tunnel

IPv6 Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) provides a mechanism of encapsulating packets of a protocol into packets of another protocol. This allows packets to be transmitted over heterogeneous networks. The channel for transmitting heterogeneous packets is called a tunnel.

Configuration Examples for IPv6 GRE

This section provides IPv6 GRE configuration examples. This section provides networking requirements, configuration notes, and configuration roadmap in configurations examples.
