You can use automatic or configured tunneling to set up your own IPv6 tunnel.
NOTE:In the following procedure, Host 1 and Host 2 belong to two different IPv6 networks. Router 1 and Router 2 are the two edge routers, which are dual stacks to interconnect the IPv6 and IPv4 networks. It is assumed that both Router 1 and Router 2 are NetWare® nodes.
Make sure the IPv6 stack is loaded on both sides.
Configure one side of the tunnel to set up Router 1 by entering the following at the server console:
Tun6bind test-tunnel 3ffe::1 3ffe::2 172.16.1.1. 172.16.1.2
Configure the other side of the tunnel to set up Router 2 by entering the following at the server console:
Tun6bind test-tunnel 3ffe::2 3ffe::1 172.16.1.2 172.16.1.1
The tunnel names do not to be the same on both sides.
Test the connectivity by pinging across the tunnel.
For example, on Router 1 enter
Ping6 3ffe::2
Unlike configured tunneling, you do not need to explicitly set up an automatic tunnel.
NOTE:The following procedure sets up automatic tunneling between Host 1 and Host 2.
Make sure the IPv6 stack is loaded on both nodes.
Make sure the IPv6 Auto Tunnel feature is set to on for both nodes.
Test the connectivity by pinging across the tunnel.
For example, enter
to::172.16.1.2 from Host 1 and ::172.16.1.1 from H2.
