Usage Guidelines

Tunnel interface is a logical interface for packet encapsulation. A new tunnel interface provides only packet encapsulation function and does not use any extra protocol (NONE) to encapsulate the packets. You can specify a protocol as the encapsulation protocol, such as GRE.

NOTE:

You must specify the tunneling protocol before specifying other parameters, such as source and destination tunnel addresses. Changing the encapsulation protocol of a tunnel will delete all other settings of the tunnel.

Example

# Apply a tunnel policy in the Tunnel0 interface view to configure a GRE tunnel.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] interface tunnel 0
[sysname-Tunnel0] tunnel-protocol gre
