Summary
The IPIP tunneling implementation on the MikroTik RouterOS is RFC 2003 compliant. IPIP tunnel is a simple protocol that encapsulates IP packets in IP to make a tunnel between two routers. The IPIP tunnel interface appears as an interface under the interface list. Many routers, including Cisco and Linux, support this protocol. This protocol makes multiple network schemes possible.
IP tunnelling tunneling protocol adds the following possibilities to a network setupssetup:
- to tunnel Intranets over the Internet
- to use it instead of source routing
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| clamp-tcp-mss (yes | no; Default: yes) | Controls whether to change MSS size for received TCP SYN packets. When enabled, a router will change the MSS size for received TCP SYN packets if the current MSS size exceeds the tunnel interface MTU (taking into account the TCP/IP overhead).The received encapsulated packet will still contain the original MSS, and only after decapsulation the MSS is changed. |
| dont-fragment (inherit | no; Default: no) | |
| dscp (inherit | integer [0-63]; Default: ) | Set dscp value in IPIP header to a fixed value or inherit from dscp value taken from tunnelled traffic |
| ipsec-secret (string; Default: ) | When secret is specified, router adds dynamic ipsec peer to remote-address with pre-shared key and policy with default values (by default phase2 uses sha1/aes128cbc). |
| local-address (IP; Default: ) | IP address on a router that will be used by IPIP tunnel |
| mtu (integer; Default: 1500) | Layer3 Maximum transmission unit |
| keepalive (integer[/time],integer 0..4294967295; Default: 10s,10) | Tunnel keepalive parameter sets the time interval in which the tunnel running flag will remain even if the remote end of tunnel goes down. If configured time,retries fail, interface running flag is removed. Parameters are written in following format: KeepaliveInterval,KeepaliveRetries where KeepaliveInterval is time interval and KeepaliveRetries - number of retry attempts. By default keepalive is set to 10 seconds and 10 retries. |
| name (string; Default: ) | Interface name |
| remote-address (IP; Default: ) | IP address of remote end of IPIP tunnel |
