Howto: configure DLink L3 switch for sixxs's tunnels

Hi -
This short article describes how easy it is to configure a L3 switch from the DLink DGS-
series with a sixxs protocol-41 tunnel. This has been tested here with a DGS-3650 but there is no reason it shouldn't work with different models of the same family.
Assuming you have your IPv4 Endpoint IP affected to the "wan" vlan
of the switch, here are the CLI commands:
create ip_tunnel sixxs
config ip_tunnel manual sixxs source [Your IPv4 Endpoint]
destination [PoP IPv4 Endpoint]
config ip_tunnel manual sixxs ipv6address [Your IPv6 Endpoint]/64
create ipv6route default ip_tunnel sixxs
At this step you should be able to ping IPv6 hosts from the router.
Let's try to ping one of the google hosts:
DGS-3650:admin#ping6 2a00:1450:400c:c01::93
Command: ping6 2A00:1450:400C:C01::93

Ping Statistics for 2A00:1450:400C:C01::93
Packets: Sent =2, Received =2, Lost =0
Should you configure one of your sixxs's /64 subnet to
that interface and route it either to some other external hosts or
vlans. Assuming your WAN interface is named "Int_WAN":
config ipif Int_WAN ipv6 ipv6address 2a01:xxxx:yyyy:ffff::1/64
Should you want to route the 2a01:xxxx:yyyy::/64 subnet to, say,
the host which has 2a01:xxxx:yyyy:ffff::2 address:
create ipv6route 2a01:xxxx:yyyy::/64 Int_WAN 2a01:xxxx:yyyy:ffff::2
Hope that helps.
