Configuring IPv6 Through A Tunnel Broker Service

A location that doesn’t have access to native IPv6 connectivity may obtain it using a tunnel broker service such as Hurricane Electric. A core site with IPv6 can deliver IPv6 connectivity to a remote site by using a VPN or GIF tunnel.

This section provides the process for connecting AZTCO-FW with Hurricane Electric (Often abbreviated to HE.net or HE) for IPv6 transit. Using HE.net is simple and easy. It allows for multi-tunnel setup, each with a transport /64 and a routed /64. Also included is a routed /48 to be used with one the tunnels. It’s a great way to get a lot of routed IPv6 space to experiment with and learn, all for free.
