Binding a tunnel to a VE interface

Procedure

  1. Enter global configuration mode.
    device# configure terminal
  2. Use the interface command to enter interface configuration mode and configure a VE interface.
    device(config)# interface ve 3
    The range is from 1 through 4096.
  3. Use the ip address command to assign an IP address to the VE interface.
    device(config-if-Ve-3)# ip address 10.1.1.1
  4. Use the exit command to return to global configuration mode.
    device(config-if-Ve-3)# exit
  5. Use the interface command to enter interface configuration mode and configure a tunnel.
    device(config)# interface tunnel 5
    The range is from 1 through 1024.
  6. Use the router-interface command to configure a router interface for the tunnel.
    device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# router-interface ve 3

Example

This example shows how to bind a tunnel to a VE interface.

device# configure terminal
device (config)# interface ve 3
device(config-if-Ve-3)# ip address 10.1.1.1
device(config-if-Ve-3)# exit
device (config)# interface tunnel 5
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# router-interface ve 3
