Step Command Remarks
3. Specify a source IPv4
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.
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.
The source interface can be a Layer 3
Ethernet interface, Layer 3 aggregate
interface, VLAN interface, or Layer 3
loopback interface.
EVI networks can share a tunnel
source IP address or 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.
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.
Assigning a network ID to the EVI tunnel
Assign the same network ID to the EVI tunnels of all edge devices in an EVI network.
On an edge device, the network ID assigned to an EVI tunnel must be unique among all EVI tunnels.
To assign a network ID to an EVI tunnel:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter EVI tunnel interface view.

3. Specify a network ID. evi network-id number By default, no network ID is specified.
Specifying extended VLANs on the EVI tunnel
When configuring extended VLANs, follow these guidelines:
