Configuring tunneling
Overview
Tunneling is an encapsulation technology. One network protocol encapsulates packets of another network protocol and transfers them over a virtual point-to-point connection. The virtual connection is called a tunnel. Packets are encapsulated at the tunnel source end and de-encapsulated at the tunnel destination end. Tunneling refers to the whole process from data encapsulation to data transfer to data de-encapsulation.
Tunneling supports the following technologies:
· Transition techniques, such as IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling, to interconnect IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
· VPN, such as IPv4 over IPv4 tunneling, IPv4/IPv6 over IPv6 tunneling, GRE, DVPN, and IPsec tunneling.
· Traffic engineering, such as MPLS TE to prevent network congestion.
Unless otherwise specified, the term "tunnel" in this document refers to IPv6 over IPv4 and IPv4 over IPv4 tunnels.
IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling
IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling enables isolated IPv6 networks to communicate, as shown in Figure 1.
|
NOTE: The devices at the ends of an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel must support the IPv4/IPv6 dual stack. |
Figure 1 IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel
The IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel processes packets by using the following steps:
1. A host in the IPv6 network sends an IPv6 packet to Device A at the tunnel source.
a. Searches the routing table to identify the outgoing interface for the IPv6 packet.
The outgoing interface is the tunnel interface, so Device A knows that the packet needs to be forwarded through the tunnel.
b. Encapsulates the IPv6 packet with an IPv4 header and forwards it through the physical interface of the tunnel.
In the IPv4 header, the source IPv4 address is the IPv4 address of the tunnel source, and the destination IPv4 address is the IPv4 address of the tunnel destination.
2. Upon receiving the packet, Device B de-encapsulates the packet.
3. If the destination address of the IPv6 packet is itself, Device B forwards it to the upper-layer protocol. If not, Device B forwards it according to the routing table.
IPv4 over IPv4 tunneling
IPv4 over IPv4 tunneling (RFC 1853) enables isolated IPv4 networks to communicate. For example, an IPv4 over IPv4 tunnel can connect isolated private IPv4 networks over a public IPv4 network.
Figure 2 IPv4 over IPv4 tunnel
Packets traveling through a tunnel undergo encapsulation and de-encapsulation, as shown in Figure 2.
· Encapsulation:
a. Device A receives an IP packet from an IPv4 host and submits it to the IP protocol stack.
b. The IPv4 protocol stack determines how to forward the packet according to the destination address in the IP header. If the packet is destined for the IPv4 host connected to Device B, Device A delivers the packet to the tunnel interface.
c. The tunnel interface adds a new IPv4 header to the IPv4 packet and submits it to the IP protocol stack. In the new header, the source IP address specifies the tunnel source, and the destination IP address specifies the tunnel destination. The IP protocol stack uses the destination IP address of the new IP header to look up the routing table, and then sends the packet out.
· De-encapsulation:
a. After receiving the packet, Device B delivers it to the IP protocol stack.
b. If the protocol number is 4 (indicating an IPv4 packet is encapsulated within the packet), the IP protocol stack delivers the packet to the tunnel module for de-encapsulation.
c. The tunnel module de-encapsulates the IP packet and sends it back to the IP protocol stack.
d. The protocol stack forwards the de-encapsulated packet.

Tunneling configuration task list
Tasks at a glance |
(Required.) Configuring a tunnel interface |
Perform either of the following tasks: |
Configuring a tunnel interface
Before you create a tunnel interface, you must reserve global resources of two VLAN interfaces. The device uses the reserved resources to create the tunnel interface. For more information about global VLAN interface resource reservation, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
The device cannot directly route a tunneled packet based on the packet's destination address. The packet is sent to a tunnel-type service loopback group, which then delivers the packet to the forwarding module for Layer 3 forwarding. For the tunnel interface to correctly receive and forward packets, you must configure a tunnel-type service loopback group. For information about service loopback group, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
Configure a tunnel interface (Layer 3 virtual interface) at both ends of a tunnel. The devices use the tunnel interface to identify, process, and send packets for the tunnel.

7. Create a tunnel interface, specify the tunnel mode, and enter tunnel interface view. |
interface tunnel number mode { evi | gre | ipv4-ipv4 | ipv6-ipv4 | mpls-te | vxlan } |
By default, no tunnel interface is created. When you create a new tunnel interface, you must specify the tunnel mode. When you enter the view of an existing tunnel interface, you do not need to specify the tunnel mode. To ensure successful packet tunneling, the two ends of a tunnel must use the same tunnel mode. The supported tunnel mode varies by system operating mode. For more information about setting the system operating mode, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide. |
8. (Optional.) Configure a description for the interface. |
description text |
By default, the description for a tunnel interface is Tunnel number Interface. |
9. (Optional.) Specify a traffic processing card for the tunnel interface. |

Configuring an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel
Follow these guidelines when you configure an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel:
· Before you create a tunnel interface, you must reserve global resources of two VLAN interfaces. The device uses the reserved resources to create the tunnel interface. For more information about global VLAN interface resource reservation, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
· The device cannot directly route a tunneled packet based on the packet's destination address. The packet is sent to a tunnel-type service loopback group, which then delivers the packet to the forwarding module for Layer 3 forwarding. For the tunnel interface to correctly receive and forward packets, you must configure a tunnel-type service loopback group. For information about service loopback group, see Layer 2—LAN Switching Configuration Guide.
· The tunnel destination address specified on the local device must be identical with the tunnel source address specified on the tunnel peer device.
· Do not specify the same tunnel source and destination addresses for the tunnels in the same mode on a device.
· To ensure correct packet forwarding, identify whether the destination IPv6 network and the IPv6 address of the local tunnel interface are on the same subnet. If they are not, configure a route reaching the destination IPv6 network through the tunnel interface. You can configure the route by using one of the following methods:
¡ Configure a static route, and specify the local tunnel interface as the egress interface or specify the IPv6 address of the peer tunnel interface as the next hop.
¡ Enable IPv6 BGP on the tunnel interface.
The route configuration is required on both ends of the tunnel. For more information about the route configuration, see IPv6 static routing or BGP in Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

Troubleshooting tunneling
Symptom
A tunnel interface configured with related parameters such as tunnel source address, tunnel destination address, and tunnel mode cannot come up.
Analysis
The physical interface of the tunnel does not come up, or the tunnel destination is unreachable.
Solution
1. To resolve the problem:
¡ Use the display interface or display ipv6 interface command to verify that the physical interface of the tunnel is up. If the physical interface is down, check the network connection.
¡ Use the display ipv6 routing-table or display ip routing-table command to verify that the tunnel destination is reachable. If the route is not available, configure a route to reach the tunnel destination.
2. If the problem persists, contact H3C Support.
