# By comparison, it is found that the host acquires the address prefix 2001::/64 
and automatically generates the address 2001::5efe:2.1.1.2. Meanwhile, “uses 
Switch Discovery” is displayed, indicating that the switch discovery function is 
enabled on the host. At this time, ping the IPv6 address of the tunnel interface of 
the switch. If the address is successfully pinged, an ISATAP tunnel is established.
Configuration verification
After the above configurations, the ISATAP host can access the host in the IPV6 
network.

Tunneling 
Configuration
Symptom: After the configuration of related parameters such as tunnel source 
address, tunnel destination address, and tunnel type, the tunnel interface is still 
not up.
Solution: Follow the steps below:
1 The common cause is that the physical interface of the tunnel source is not up. 
Use the display interface tunnel or display ipv6 interface tunnel commands 
to view whether the physical interface of the tunnel source is up. If the physical
