I need some clarity on this type of GRE configuration
Configuration of R3:
!
interface Tunnel34
no ip address
ipv6 address 2026::34:1/122
ipv6 enable
ipv6 ospf 6 area 34
tunnel source Serial0/0/0.34
tunnel destination 10.1.1.10
tunnel mode ipv6
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
1. What type of tunnel is this? is it plain old tunnel, and in that case is in that case is is still necessary to have
tunnel mode ipv6 ?
2. Is it an ipv6 tunnel and the tunnel mode needs to be #tunnel mode ipv6 ?
3. Is it always mandatory to have a tunnel mode ?
4. what is the difference between #tunnel mode gre ipv6
& #tunnel mode ipv6 ?
Thanks in Advance

Correct.

It is tunnelling IPv6 over IPv4.

It is tunnelling IPv6 over IPv4
So in this instance is it mandatory to have #tunnel mode ipv6 ?

It has to match the remote end - and it has to be a type that tunnels IPv6.
So you could use a different IPv6 tunnel mode - but you must have one.

So if its R1#tunnel mode ipv6
then the other side has to be R2#tunnel mode ipv6 ?
Or R1#tunnel mode gre ipv6
R2#tunnel mode gre ipv6 or whatever as long as they match?

Correct.
