Configuring an EVI tunnel 

Step Command 

Remarks 

1. 

Enter system view. 

system-view 

N/A 

2. 

Create an EVI 
tunnel interface and 
enter tunnel 
interface view. 

interface tunnel

 

number mode evi

 

By default, no tunnel interface exists. 

The endpoints of a tunnel must use the same tunnel 
mode. 

For more information about this command, see 
tunneling commands in 

Layer 3—IP Services 

Command Reference

3. 

Specify a source IP 
address or interface 
for the tunnel. 

source

 { 

ipv4-address

 | 

interface-type 
interface-number

 } 

By default, no source IP address or source interface 
is specified for any tunnel. 

The source interface can be a Layer 3 Ethernet 
interface, Layer 3 aggregate interface, VLAN 
interface, or Layer 3 loopback interface. For more 
information about the 

source

 command, see 

tunneling commands in 

Layer 3—IP Services 

Command Reference

EVI uses the specified address or the primary IP 
address of the specified source interface as the 
source IP address of tunneled packets on the 
transport network. 

EVI networks can share a tunnel source IP address 
or interface. 

You must specify the same source IP address or 
interface for tunnels that use the same 
transport-facing physical interface. 

 IMPORTANT: 

To avoid forwarding failure, do not use a GRE tunnel 
interface or its IP address (configure with the 

ip 

address

 command in tunnel interface view) as the 

source interface or IP address of an EVI tunnel. For 
more information about GRE, see 

Layer 3—IP 

Services Configuration Guide

4. 

Configure the EVI 
link keepalive 
interval and the 
maximum number 
of keepalive 
transmissions. 

keepalive 

seconds

 

times

 ] ] 

By default, a keepalive packet is sent every five 
seconds and the maximum number of transmissions 
is two.  

If no reply is received from the remote end on an EVI 
link after the maximum number of keepalive 
transmissions is reached, the local end considers the 
EVI link as having failed. 

5. 

(Optional.) 
Generate a GRE 
key for tunneled 
packets based on 
their VLAN IDs. 

gre key

 

vlan-id 

By default, EVI tunneled packets do not contain a 
GRE key. 

The GRE key setting must be the same across an 
EVI network. Perform this step if any remote edge 
devices generate VLAN ID-based GRE keys for EVI 
tunneled packets. 

 

 

NOTE: 

In addition to the EVI-specific commands described in this section, you can configure generic tunnel 
interface commands on an EVI tunnel interface. These tunnel commands and tunneling basics are 
described in the tunneling configuration in 

Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide
