Binding a tunnel to a VE interface

Enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
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.
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
```
Use the exit command to return to global configuration mode.
```
device(config-if-Ve-3)# exit
```
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.
Use the router-interface command to configure a router interface for the tunnel.
```
device(config-intf-tunnel-5)# router-interface ve 3
```

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
