tunnel on Cisco ASR9010 (IOS-XR)

[rsle]

I've been running a tunnel with BGP to Hurricane Electric for a few years now on a Cisco 7600.  I'm now in the process of migrating to a Cisco ASR9010 and I am having trouble even getting the tunnel to work.

!! previous Cisco 7600 tunnel config !!
interface Tunnel0
description DB7609: Hurricane Electric IPv6 Tunnel Broker
no ip address
ipv6 address 2001:470:xxxx:xx::2/64
ipv6 enable
tunnel source xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
tunnel mode ipv6ip
tunnel destination 216.218.229.118
end


Through Cisco TAC, I got an IOS to IOS-XR config conversion which has been pretty useless as a great deal of it has not been valid.

Near as I can tell the only non-MPLS tunnel I can create requires GRE.  Has anyone else encountered (and resolved) this?

The following was my ASR9K config in it's entirety that doesn't work...

interface tunnel-ip0

ipv6 enable
ipv6 address 2001:470:xxxx:xx::2/64

tunnel destination 216.218.229.118


which even without the "tunnel mode gre" specified, when I show interface it still shows "Tunnel mode GRE IPV4"

I an not familiar with this router, but other Cisco routers require the "enable unicast routing" command (or something really close to that)

Yeah, I'm beyond that (btw it's "ipv6 unicast-routing" on my 7600 ).  The ASR9010 is already routing IPv6 via the tunnel created by the 7609S.  I just want to get the tunnel off the 7600 and onto the ASR9K as the 7600 will eventually be removed.  The ASR9000 series doesn't run Cisco IOS but runs IOS-XR (same as the CRS-1) which is similar to IOS in some ways but very different in others.

Well, I contacted Cisco TAC on this and got "We don't support this feature in XR."   :(
