The tunnel remote command specifies the remote address of an IPSec tunnel.
The undo tunnel remote command cancels the configuration.
By default, no remote IP address is configured for the IPSec tunnel.
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| ip-address | Specifies an IPv4 address for the remote end of an IPSec tunnel. | The value is in dotted decimal notation. |
Usage Scenario
You can run this command to specify an end point for an IPSec tunnel.
For a manually created IPSec policy, you must run the tunnel remote ip-address command to configure an IP address for the remote end before you can create an SA. Only after correct IP addresses are configured for the local end (start point) and remote end (end point), an IPSec tunnel can be established between the two ends.
Precautions
If an IPSec policy is created manually, tunnel remote on the local end must be the same as tunnel local on the remote end.
