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 .
so can anyone help me ?

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 ?
06-07-2023 03:22 AM
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
thank you again for your replies

you are correc the router not accept the command even after I add tunnel mode ipv6
the issue is with ipv6 you use it not correct can you share the IPv6 you use in both router

ahhh , im using cisco packet tracer so that the resson why i didnt found X:X:X::X after pressing " ? "
and in this command you cant use the prefix lenght
im using 2001:AD4:1:1::/64 in the router 3
and 199.132.1.1/24 in the router 1
and 199.132.1.2/24 & 2001:AD4:1:1::2/64 in the router 2 "the middle router between router1 and router3"

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
