DESCRIPTION
       The iptunnel command creates configured tunnels for sending and receiving IPV6 or IPV4 packets that are encap‐

       The iptunnel command can perform one of the following operations:

       create - create a tunnel interface, which you must subsequently configure.

       delete - delete a tunnel interface. You must disable the tunnel before you can delete it.

       show - show the tunnel attributes (name, tunnel end points, next hop for tunneled packets).
