  It's just part of a "normal" tunnel configuration, except you need
to set the mode to "ipv6ip", via "tunnel mode".  My tunnel to UUNET-UK
looks [about] like:

interface Tunnel6
 description IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel to UUNET-UK (6r1.paloalto.ip6.pipex.net)
 no ip address
 ipv6 address <v6-addr for this end of tunnel's /64>
 tunnel source <my-v4-addr>
 tunnel destination <their-v4-addr>
 tunnel mode ipv6ip

  When I originally got IPv6 code from my Cisco rep, before it was
made available to CCO members from their web page (4 months ago?) I
also got from him a commands.txt file that contained information on
the changes made in the IPv6 code base, and how to configure the IPv6
bits.  You might ask your cisco rep for such a thing.

  I suppose I could also ask mine if it would be alright to contribute
this document to the 6bone.net web page, or a link therefrom...
