Overview of IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel

You can create tunnels on the IPv6 networks to connect IPv4 isolated sites so that IPv4 isolated sites can access other IPv4 networks through the IPv6 Internet.

Understanding IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel

An IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel connects IPv4 islands on an IPv6 network.

Configuring an IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel Using the CLI

An IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel encapsulates IPv4 data packets, so that these encapsulated packets can be transmitted on an IPv6 network.

Maintaining IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel

After configuring the IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel, you can run the display commands in any view to display and verify the configurations.

CLI: Example for Configuring an IPv4 over IPv6 Tunnel

To configure an IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel, configure source and destination IPv6 addresses for the tunnel on the devices at both ends of the tunnel. Hosts on different IPv4 networks can communicate through the IPv4 over IPv6 tunnel.
