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 Description fields, enter the name and description of the tunnel. |
|
4.
|
From the Type drop-down list, select one of the following options: |
|
o
|
Circuit-ID—to create Circuit-ID tunnels. |
|
o
|
VXLAN—to create VXLAN tunnels. |
|
o
|
L2GRE—to create L2GRE tunnels. |
|
5.
|
Select one of the following modes: |
|
o
|
Encapsulation—Select this mode to send the encapsulated traffic to the destination node that resides in another cluster. |
|
o
|
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: |
|
o
|
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. |
|
o
|
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. |
The newly added tunnel appears in the Tunnels listing page.
