Configuring Softwire Rules

You configure softwire rules to instruct the router how to direct traffic to the addresses specified for 6rd or DS-Lite softwire concentrators. Softwire rules do not perform any filtration of the traffic. They do not include a from statement, and the only option in the then statement is to specify the address of the 6rd or DS-Lite softwire concentrator.

You can create a softwire rule consisting of one or more terms and associate a particular 6rd or DS-Lite softwire concentrator with each term. You can include the softwire rule in service sets along with other services rules.

To configure a softwire rule:

  1. Assign a name to the rule.
    [edit services softwire ]user@host# edit rule rule-name
  2. Specify the match direction.
    [edit services softwire rule rule-name]user@host# set match-direction (input | output)
  3. Assign a name for the first term.
    [edit services softwire rule rule-name]user@host# edit term term-name
  4. Associate a 6rd or DS-Lite softwire concentrator with this term.
    [edit services softwire rule rule-name term term-name]user@host# set then ds-lite name

    Or

    user@host# set then v6rd v6rd-softwire-concentator
  5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for as many additional terms as needed.
