Cecil,

ipv6ip is one of the manual tunnels, this mode is the one which uses
less overhead (that's the key) the other is tunnel mode gre, which adds
reliability capabilities. This is pretty much a "regular" tunnel, you
need to specify both endpoints.

Ipv6 6to4 is a "dynamic" tunnel; here you do not have to configure the
remote endpoint since the software of the routers is able to figure out
the destination IPv4 address from the IPv6 address. The IPv6 addresses
in this case use a special format for this case. When you use 6to4 you
are required to design your overlay IPv6 address space accordingly.

How would a question have to be worded around the question of creating
create an IPV6 tunnel using either tunnel mode ipv6ip or tunnel mode
ipv6ip
6to4?

RACK03R6(config-if)#tunnel mode ipv6ip
RACK03R6(config-if)#
RACK03R6(config-if)#tunnel mode ipv6ip ?
  6to4 IPv6 automatic tunnelling using 6to4
  auto-tunnel IPv6 automatic tunnelling using IPv4 compatible addresses
  isatap IPv6 automatic tunnelling using ISATAP
  <cr>

RACK03R6(config-if)#tunnel mode ipv6ip

Thanks

Cecil
