Create Tunnel

You can create tunnels on the encapsulation side and/or decapsulation side. To create a tunnel:

1.

From the device view, go to Ports > Tunnels.

2.

Click New. The Tunnel configuration page appears.

3.

In the Alias and Comment fields, enter the name and description of the tunnel.

4.

From the Type drop-down list, select one of the following options:

•

Circuit-ID—to create Circuit-ID tunnels.

•

VXLAN—to create VXLAN tunnels.

•

L2GRE—to create L2GRE tunnels.

5.

Select one of the following modes:

•

Encapsulation—Select this mode to send the encapsulated traffic to the destination node that resides in another cluster.

•

Decapsulation—Select this mode to decapsulate the traffic received from the source node that resides in another cluster.

6.

In the Circuit-ID field, enter the circuit ID used to encapsulate or decapsulate the traffic. You can enter multiple circuit-IDs when you create a circuit-ID tunnel for decapsulation.

Note:  This field is available only when you select Circuit-ID in the Type drop-down list.

7.

In the Destination IP Address field, enter the IPv4 address of the destination node.

Note:  This field is available only when you select VXLAN or L2GRE in the Type field and the Mode as Encapsulation.

8.

In the L4 Source Port field, enter the layer 4 source port number.

Note:  This field is available only when you select VXLAN in the Type field and the Mode as Encapsulation.

9.

From the Attached entity drop-down list, select the required entity based on the tunnel type you are creating:

•

If you are creating a Circuit-ID tunnel, this field is available only when you select the Mode as Decapsulation. Ensure that you attach the required circuit ports or circuit GigaStreams.

•

If you are creating a VXLAN tunnel or a L2GRE tunnel, ensure that you select the IP interface to which you have attached the circuit port.

10.

Click OK.

The newly added tunnel appears in the Tunnels listing page.
