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 based, support this protocol. This protocol makes multiple network schemes possible.
Note: There is no authentication or 'state' for this interface. The bandwidth usage of the interface may be monitored with the monitor feature from the interface menu.

Suppose we want to add an IPIP tunnel between routers R1 and R2: At first, we need to configure IPIP interfaces and then add IP addresses to them.
The configuration of the R2 is shown below: Now both routers can ping each other:
IP tunneling protocol adds the following possibilities to a network setups:Properties
Property Description local-address (IP; Default: ) IP address on a router that will be used by IPIP tunnel mtu (integer; Default: 1500) Layer3 Maximum transmission unit name (string; Default: ) Interface name remote-address (IP; Default: ) IP address of remote end of IPIP tunnel IPv6
/interface ipipv6
IP/IPv6 over IPv6 tunnel functionality is added in v5RC6 and is configurable from another menu: /interface ipipv6
IPv6 version uses the same properties as IPv4 version.Setup examples
The configuration for router R1 is as follows:[admin@MikroTik] interface ipip> add
local-address: 10.0.0.1
remote-address: 22.63.11.6
[admin@MikroTik] interface ipip> print
Flags: X - disabled, R - running
# NAME MTU LOCAL-ADDRESS REMOTE-ADDRESS
