IPv6 Tunnel Broker Setup using Hurricane Electric

Back to Top

In this example, we are using the Hurricane Electric Tunnel Broker service.

GUI: Log in to the Hurricane Electric portal.

1. Create a regular tunnel interface.

2. Enter the current EdgeRouter WAN IP address and select a server.

3. Create the tunnel.

Afterwards, a client IPv6 address and server IPv4 address will be shown in the portal.

CLI: Access the command line interface (CLI). You can do this using the CLI button in the GUI or by using a program such as PuTTY.

1. Enter configuration mode.

configure

2. Create the tunnel interface and set the encapsulation method.

set interfaces tunnel tun0 encapsulation sit

3. Define the local and remote IPv4 endpoints of the tunnel.

set interfaces tunnel tun0 local-ip 203.0.113.1
set interfaces tunnel tun0 remote-ip 192.0.2.1
NOTE: The remote-ip is the HE server address. The local-ip is the address currently assigned to the EdgeRouter's WAN interface.

4. Associate the tunnel interface with the obtained HE client IPv6 address.

set interfaces tunnel tun0 address 2001:db8::2/64

5. Add a default route that routes all IPv6 traffic over the tunnel.

set protocols static interface-route6 ::/0 next-hop-interface tun0

6. Commit the changes and save the configuration.

commit ; save
