Configuring Tunnel Interfaces (C-Web Interface)

A tunnel allows direct connection between a remote location and an application running on the C-series Controller. A tunnel lets you use the redirect server in deployments where the JUNOSe router does not have a direct connection to the C-series Controller.

The C-series Controller supports three types of tunnel interfaces:

• GRE—Encapsulates traffic that can use various network protocols within IP. For C-series Controllers, the tunnel interface encapsulates IP packets.
• IP- over- IP—Encapsulates IP packets within IP packets.
• IPv6 in IPv4—Encapsulates IPv6 packet in IPv4 packets.

The other endpoint for the tunnel on a JUNOS or JUNOSe router must be configured for the tunnel to be operational.

To configure tunnel interfaces:

1. Click Configure, expand Interfaces, and expand the specified interface.
2. Click Tunnel.

   The Tunnel pane appears.

3. Click the Create button.
4. Enter information as described in the Help text in the main pane, and click Apply.
