Root level command
Command
Description
interface tunnel
Enter tunnel interface configuration context, create a Tunnel interface if it does not exist, or delete a Tunnel interface or sub-interface
keepalive
Enable the tunnel keepalive feature
tunnel checksum
Add a checksum to the GRE header of packets traveling through the tunnel
When a checksum is included on one endpoint, the receiving tunnel endpoint performs checksum validation on incoming packets and packets without a valid checksum are discarded.
no tunnel checksum
Disables checksums
tunnel destination
Set the destination address of the tunnel
tunnel dscp
Assign a DSCP value to packets traveling through the tunnel
The DSCP value is placed in the packet’s Carrier IP header. You can assign a DSCP value of from 0 to 63. If you do not assign a DSCP value, the DSCP value is copied from the packet’s original IP header.
Note:
The Carrier IP header identifies the source and destination IP address of the tunnel.
tunnel key
Enable and set an ID key for the tunnel
Tunnel ID keys are used as a security device. The key must be set to the same value on the tunnel endpoints. Packets without the configured key must be discarded.
no tunnel key
Disables key checking
tunnel path- mtu-discovery
Enable dynamic MTU discovery by the tunnel
tunnel source
Set the source address of the tunnel
tunnel ttl
Assign a TTL value to packets traveling through the tunnel
The TTL value is placed in the packet’s Carrier IP header. You can assign a TTL value of from 1 to 255. The default tunnel TTL value is 255.
show interfaces tunnel
Show interface configuration and statistics for a particular tunnel or all GRE tunnels
If the Tunnel interface is down, this command displays the MTU value as not available.
