Configuring Tunnel Interfaces (SRC CLI)

You can configure tunnel interfaces to use the redirect server in deployments where a router running JUNOSe Software does not have a direct connection to the C Series Controller.

Before you configure a tunnel interface, configure the interface on the C Series Controller.

See Configuring Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces for IPv4 (SRC CLI)

Use the following configuration statements to configure tunnel interfaces at the [edit] hierarchy level:

interfaces name tunnel {
mode (ipip | gre | sit);
destination destination ;
source source;
key key ;
interface interface ;
ttl ttl ;
}
interfaces name unit unit-number family inet {
address address ;
}

To configure a tunnel interface on a C Series Controller:

  1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures tunnel interfaces.
    [edit]
    user@host# edit interfaces name tunnel

    For example:

    [edit]
    user@host# edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel

     

  2. Configure the type of tunnel.
    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set mode ipip

    or

    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set mode gre

    or

    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set mode sit
  3. Specify the IP address of the remote end of the tunnel.
    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set destination destination

    For example:

    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set destination 192.0.2.20
  4. (Optional) Specify an IP address that will not change for the local tunnel endpoint. It must be an address on another interface of this host.
    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set source source

    For example:

    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set source 192.20.10.5
  5. (Optional) For a GRE tunnel, specify a key.
    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set key key

    For example:

    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set key 250
  6. (Optional) Specify an existing physical interface on the C Series Controller.
    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set interface interface

    For example:

    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set interface eth0
  7. (Optional) Specify the lifetime of tunneled packets.
    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set ttl ttl

    For example:

    [edit interfaces ip-tunnel tunnel]
    user@host# set ttl 110
  8. Verify the configuration by running the show command. For example:
    [edit interfaces]
user@host# show
 
unit 0 {
  family {
    inet6 {
      address 192.2.0.10/24;
    }
  }
}
ip-tunnel {
  tunnel {
      mode ipip;
      destination 192.0.2.20;
      source 192.20.10.5;
      interface eth0;
      ttl 110;
    }
}
