| vr | Specifies configuring the tunnel on specific VR. |
| vr_name | Specifies which VR to configure the tunnel on. This VR if the VR of the tunnel itself, where source-address is configured. It is the underlay/delivery. This is the source outer IP address. The default is the VR of the current context. |
| payload-vr | Specifies a tunnel payload VR (VR of the tunnel interface). |
| payload_vr_name | Specifies the tunnel payload VR name. It is the VR of the L3 interface of the tunnel, that is, the payload/overlay. The default is the VR of the tunnel. |
