The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface tunnel interface-number
A tunnel interface is created.
TIP
When creating the tunnel interfaces, you are recommended to set the slot numbers of the tunnel interfaces
the same as the slot number of the interface sending the packets, that is, the interface at the source end. In
this manner, the packet forwarding efficiency can be improved.

1.3.3 Configuring a Tunnel
Tunnel interfaces of different types have different configurations. The command for a specific
feature can be configured on tunnel interfaces only after these tunnel interfaces are configured
with encapsulation modes.
Context
Do as follows on switchs with tunnel interfaces.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
interface tunnel interface-number
The tunnel interface view is displayed.
Step 3 Run:
tunnel-protocol { gre | mpls te | ipv6-ipv4 [ 6to4 | auto-tunnel | isatap ] | ipv4-
ipv6 | none }
The encapsulation type of the tunnel is configured.
By default, the encapsulation protocol of a tunnel interface is none.
The related commands of an encapsulation protocol can be run only after the protocol is
encapsulated on the tunnel interface. For example, you can run MPLS TE commands in a tunnel
interface view after the tunnel-protocol mpls te command is configured on the tunnel interface.
Before using the tunnel-protocol mpls te command, enable global MPLS and MPLS TE first.
Step 4 Run:
destination [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] dest-ip-address
The destination address is configured for the tunnel.
The parameter vpn-instance vpn-instance-name is valid only for GRE.
Step 5 (Optional) Run:
source { source-ip-address | loopback interface-number }
