Configuring Routing 583
Tunnels
The PowerConnect 8024/8024F
switches support
the creation, deletion, and management of tunnel
interfaces. These are dynamic interfaces that are created and deleted through user-configuration. Each
switch also supports the functionality of a 6to4 border router that connects a 6to4 site to a 6to4 domain.
It sends and receives tunneled traffic from routers in a 6to4 domain that includes other 6to4 border
routers and 6to4 relay routers.
There are two classes of tunnels that facilitate the transition of IPv4 networks to IPv6 networks:
configured and automatic. The distinction is that configured tunnels are explicitly configured with a
destination or endpoint of the tunnel. Automatic tunnels, in contrast, infer the endpoint of the tunnel
from the destination address of packets routed into the tunnel.
The PowerConnect 8024/8024F supports point-to-point tunnels. Point-to-point interfaces provide for
routing based only on the interface (an explicit next-hop address need not be specified), and allow for
the definition of unnumbered interfaces.
