IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel Configuration
The IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel technology is used to interconnect isolated IPv4 networks during the transition from IPv4 Internet into the IPv6 Internet.
- Overview of IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel
The IPv4 over IPv6 tunneling technology enables communication between isolated IPv4 networks over existing IPv6 networks. IPv4 packets can be transparently transmitted over IPv6 networks after being encapsulated into IPv6 packets. - Limitations for IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel
- Configuring an IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel
An IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel functions as a permanent link that connects two IPv4 domains through the IPv6 backbone network. It is a fixed channel for regular and secure communication between border devices. An IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel is a point-to-point tunnel. The source and destination IPv6 addresses of the tunnel interfaces are manually specified, and must be unique on the same device. - Configuration Examples for IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel
The configuration examples provide networking requirements, configuration roadmap, data preparation, and configuration procedures.
