+# VPP IPIP Configuration
+
+VPP IPIP interfaces provide IP-in-IP tunneling with high-performance
+packet processing. IPIP tunnels encapsulate IP packets within IP
+packets, creating point-to-point connections across Layer 3 networks.
+
+## Basic Configuration
+
+### Creating an IPIP Interface
+
+```{cfgcmd} set interfaces vpp ipip \<vppipipN\>
+
+Create an IPIP interface where ``<vppipipN>`` follows the naming
+convention ``vppipip1``, ``vppipip2``, etc.
+```
+
+```{cfgcmd} set interfaces vpp ipip \<vppipipN\> remote \<address\>
+
+Set the tunnel remote endpoint address. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6
+addresses.
+```
+
+```{cfgcmd} set interfaces vpp ipip \<vppipipN\> source-address \<address\>
+
+Set the tunnel source address. The source address must match an address
+configured on the local system.
+```
+
+**Basic Example:**
+
+```none
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip1
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip1 remote 203.0.113.2
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip1 source-address 192.168.1.1
+```
+
+## Interface Configuration
+### Description and Administrative Control
+
+```{cfgcmd} set interfaces vpp ipip \<vppipipN\> description \<description\>
+
+Set a descriptive name for the IPIP interface.
+```
+
+```{cfgcmd} set interfaces vpp ipip \<vppipipN\> disable
+
+Administratively disable the IPIP interface.
+```
+
+### Kernel Interface Integration
+
+Kernel interface is bound to the VPP IPIP interface for management and
+application compatibility.
+
+## IP Address Configuration
+
+```{cfgcmd} set interfaces vpp ipip \<vppipipN\> address \<ip-address/prefix\>
+
+Configure IPv4 or IPv6 addresses on the kernel interface. Multiple
+addresses can be assigned.
+```
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```none
+# IPv4 address
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip0 address 192.168.1.10/24
+
+# IPv6 address
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip0 address 2001:db8::10/64
+```
+
+## MTU Configuration
+
+```{cfgcmd} set interfaces vpp ipip \<vppipipN\> mtu \<size\>
+
+Set the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for the kernel interface.
+The MTU must be compatible with the connected VPP interface.
+```
+
+## Configuration Examples
+### IPv4 IPIP Tunnel
+
+```none
+# Basic IPv4 IPIP tunnel
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip1
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip1 description "Site-to-site IPIP tunnel"
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip1 remote 203.0.113.10
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip1 source-address 192.168.1.1
+```
+
+### IPv6 IPIP Tunnel
+
+```none
+# IPv6 endpoints
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip2
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip2 remote 2001:db8::2
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip2 source-address 2001:db8::1
+```
+
+### IPIP with Kernel Interface
+
+```none
+# IPIP tunnel with management interface
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip3
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip3 remote 203.0.113.30
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip3 source-address 192.168.1.1
+set interfaces vpp ipip vppipip3 address 10.0.2.1/30
+```
