ipsec VTI ip address

This is post re. the configuration of the tunnel interface for the purpose of static VTI between two IOS hosts.

Just wanted to see what the issues were with the 'ip address' of the tunnel interface

seems we have a number of options;

static ip address ip unnumbered [loopback or other interface] no ip address

are there are any pro's and con's of either, as it is just i recall some issues with perhaps the use of 'ip unnumbered' in some instances ?

Thanks

If you want to route IP traffic across the link then you will need an IP address.

Unless you have a good reason to do otherwise use static IP address. If you use ip unnumbered there are certain hop by hop troubleshooting strategies that don't work. You can't ping individual interfaces.
