Usage guidelines

CAUTION: The default command might interrupt ongoing network services. Make sure you are fully aware of the impact of this command when you use it on a live network.

 

This command might fail to restore the default settings for some commands for reasons such as command dependencies or system restrictions. Use the display this command in interface view to identify these commands. Use their undo forms or follow the command reference to restore their default settings. If your restoration attempt still fails, follow the error message instructions to resolve the problem.

Examples

# Restore the default settings of Tunnel 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface tunnel 1

[Sysname-Tunnel1] default

description

Use description to configure the description of an interface.

Use undo description to restore the default.

Syntax

description text

undo description

Default

The description of a tunnel interface is Tunnelnumber Interface, for example, Tunnel1 Interface.

Parameters

text: Specifies a description, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 255 characters.

Usage guidelines

Configure descriptions for different interfaces for identification and management purposes.

You can use the display interface command to display the configured interface description.

Examples

# Configure the description of Tunnel 1 as tunnel1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface tunnel 1

[Sysname-Tunnel1] description tunnel1

Related commands

display interface tunnel

destination

Use destination to specify the destination address for a tunnel interface.

Use undo destination to restore the default.

Syntax

destination { ipv4-address | ipv6-address }

undo destination

Default

No tunnel destination address is configured.

Views

Tunnel interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ipv4-address: Specifies the tunnel destination IPv4 address.

ipv6-address: Specifies the tunnel destination IPv6 address.

Usage guidelines

For a manual tunnel interface, you must configure the destination address. For an automatic tunnel interface, you do not need to configure the destination address.

The tunnel destination address must be the address of the receiving interface on the tunnel peer. It is used as the destination address of tunneled packets.

The destination address of the local tunnel interface must be the source address of the peer tunnel interface. The source address of the local tunnel interface must be the destination address of the peer tunnel interface.

Do not specify the same tunnel source and destination addresses for the tunnel interfaces on the same device.

Examples

# VLAN-interface 100 on Sysname 1 uses the IP address 193.101.1.1 and VLAN-interface 100 on Sysname 2 uses the IP address 192.100.1.1. Configure the source address 193.101.1.1 and destination address 192.100.1.1 for the tunnel interface on Sysname 1.

<Sysname1> system-view

[Sysname1] interface tunnel 1 mode ipv6-ipv4

[Sysname1-Tunnel1] source 193.101.1.1

[Sysname1-Tunnel1] destination 192.100.1.1

# Configure the source address 192.100.1.1 and destination address 193.101.1.1 for the tunnel interface on Sysname 2.

mode ipv6-ipv4 6to4: Specifies the 6to4 tunnel mode.

mode ipv6-ipv4 isatap: Specifies the ISATAP tunnel mode.

mode ipv6-ipv6: Specifies the IPv6 over IPv6 tunnel mode.

Usage guidelines

To create a new tunnel interface, you must specify the tunnel mode in this command. To enter the view of an existing tunnel interface, you do not need to specify the tunnel mode.

A tunnel interface number is locally significant. The tunnel interfaces on the two ends of a tunnel can use the same or different interface numbers.

Examples

# Create GRE/IPv4 tunnel interface Tunnel 1 and enter tunnel interface view.

<Sysname> system-view

mtu

Use mtu to set the MTU on a tunnel interface.

Use undo mtu to restore the default.

Syntax

mtu size

undo mtu

Default

If the tunnel interface has never been up, the MTU is 64000 bytes.

If the tunnel interface is up, its MTU is identical to the outgoing interface's MTU minus the length of the tunnel headers. The outgoing interface is automatically obtained through routing table lookup based on the tunnel destination address.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

size: Specifies the MTU, in the range of 100 to 64000 bytes.

Usage guidelines

If you do not configure an MTU for a tunnel interface or the configured MTU is 64000 bytes, the effective MTU depends on the tunnel interface status.

·     If the tunnel interface is up, its MTU is identical to the outgoing interface's MTU minus the length of the tunnel headers.

·     If the tunnel interface is down, the device does not calculate or update the MTU of the tunnel interface.

If you configure an MTU for a tunnel interface and the MTU is not 64000 bytes, the configured MTU applies regardless of the tunnel interface status (up/down) and the outgoing interface MTU.

To avoid fragmentation after tunnel encapsulation, set the tunnel interface MTU no greater than the value of the outgoing interface MTU minus the length of the tunnel headers.

Examples

# Set the MTU on Tunnel 1 to 10000 bytes.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface tunnel 1

[Sysname-Tunnel1] mtu 10000
