Key Concepts

Tunnel Endpoints

Tunnel endpoints are the specific devices or interfaces that serve as the start and finish points of a tunnel. In configured tunneling, these endpoints are pre-defined and manually configured to handle the encapsulation of traffic, ensuring that data passes securely through the established tunnel. The accuracy of endpoint configuration is critical for the proper operation of a tunneled connection.

Router-to-Router Tunneling

Router-to-router tunneling is a typical scenario that requires configured tunneling since it involves manually designated endpoints on both routers. By pre-configuring the routers, network administrators ensure that the tunnel is established with the correct settings, allowing secure and directed communication between the networks connected by these routers.

Configured Tunneling

Configured tunneling involves manually setting up both ends of a communication tunnel with predetermined parameters. This method requires that each endpoint be explicitly defined and configured so that the encapsulation and decapsulation of data packets occur correctly over the network. This is in contrast to dynamic tunneling methods where endpoints might be established automatically without pre-set configurations.
