Enabling IPv6 Tunneling in MPLS

You enable IPv6 tunneling by including the ipv6-tunneling statement in the configuration for the PE routers. This statement allows IPv6 routes to be resolved over an MPLS network by converting all routes stored in the inet.3 routing table to IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses and then copying them into the inet6.3 routing table. This routing table can be used to resolve next hops for both inet6 and inet6-vpn routes.

To configure IPv6 tunneling, include the ipv6-tunneling statement on the PE routers:




ipv6-tunneling;

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit protocols mpls]
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name protocols mpls]

You also need to configure IPv6 tunneling when you configure IPv6 VPNs. For more information, see the JUNOS VPNs Configuration Guide.
