33.4.1 Manual IPv6 Tunnel Configuration
Instance
Figure 33-4
As shown in the above figure, IPv6 networks N1 and N2 are isolated by the IPv4 network.
Two networks can beinterconnected through manual tunnel configuration, for example, the
H-A3 host in N1 can access the H-B3 host in N2 through configuration.
In the figure, both RT-A and RT-B support the IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks. Tunnel
configuration is performed on the Area Border Routers (RT-A and RT-B) in N1 and N2. Note
that manual tunnel must be configured symmetrically, that is, manual tunnels must be
configured on RT-A and RT-B.
The specific configurations related to the tunnel are respectively as follows:
Prerequisite: Suppose the routes of IPv4 are connected. No more route configuration about
IPv4 is described.
RT-A configuration
#Connect the interfaces of the IPv4 network
interface FastEthernet 2/1
no switchport
ip address 192.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
#Connect the interfaces of the IPv6 network
