By default, no tunnel interface is configured.

When a tunnel interface serves as the GRE interface, IPv4/IPv6 is in the UP state only after you configure a source IP address, destination address, and route for the interface.

Example

# Create a tunnel interface with interface number as 1.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] interface tunnel 1
[sysname-Tunnel1]
