Tunnel-Service and IPSec-Service Overview

Tunnels provide a way of transporting datagrams between routers that do not support the same protocols. Often, these routers are separated by networks.

To configure tunneling, you must identify the tunnel-server ports that reside on modules that support tunnel services. You can then assign the tunnel-service interfaces that encapsulate protocols and enable them to be tunneled across the network.

Figure 13 displays the interface stacking for tunnel-service interfaces on a tunnel-server module.

This section describes the types of tunnel-server ports that you can configure on tunnel-server modules and the types of tunnel-service interfaces that you can run on these ports.
