Hello Everyone , i have a problem when i try to make the GRE Tunnel between 2 routers

i want to make a GRE IPv6 tunnel between 2 routers " router1 and router3" And there will also be a router3 in the middle between the 2 router , the real IP Address of router1 is 4.4.4.1/24 and the real IP Address of router3 is 2001:1111:11aa:aa11::1/64 , and the IP Address the directly connected interface with router1 in router 2 is 4.4.4.2/24 , and the IP Address the directly connected interface with router3 in router 2 is 2001:1111:11aa:aa11::2/64.

i want to make a GRE Tunnel between router1 and router3 and i want to make the the IP Addresses of the tunnel interfaces in router1 and router3 IPv6 

the real problem is that the command " tunnel destinaton <IP> " dosent support IPv6 , just IPv4 .

tunnel mode gre ipv6 <<- this need under the tunnel config 

ipv6 unicast-routing <<- this need in global mode


 

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it
I already did


But the real problem is that the command " tunnel destination <IP> " does not accept IPv6 addresses

do you run ipv6 unicast-routing ?

yes , im sure about that

R1(config-if)#tunnel mode ipv6 <<- this first 
R1(config-if)#tu
R1(config-if)#tunnel de
R1(config-if)#tunnel destination ?
Hostname or A.B.C.D ip address or host name
X:X:X:X::X IPv6 address <<- IPv6 appear under the tunnel 

R1(config-if)#tunnel destination

so that is impossible to make the real destination IP Address from IPv6

this IP is not correct, I have little experience in IPv6
I try using 2001:AD4:1:1::1 <<- and it success 
you also can use IP in above lab if there is no ping between interface
