.Dt GRE 4
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm gre
|
|
.Nd encapsulating network device
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile the
|
|
driver into the kernel, place the following line in the kernel
|
|
configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device gre"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the
|
|
driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
if_gre_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
network interface pseudo device encapsulates datagrams
|
|
into IP.
|
|
These encapsulated datagrams are routed to a destination host,
|
|
where they are decapsulated and further routed to their final destination.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq tunnel
|
|
appears to the inner datagrams as one hop.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interfaces are dynamically created and destroyed with the
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
.Cm create
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm destroy
|
|
subcommands.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This driver corresponds to RFC 2784.
|
|
Encapsulated datagrams are prepended an outer datagram and a GRE header.
|
|
The GRE header specifies
|
|
the type of the encapsulated datagram and thus allows for tunneling other
|
|
protocols than IP.
|
|
GRE mode is also the default tunnel mode on Cisco routers.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
also supports Cisco WCCP protocol, both version 1 and version 2.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interfaces support a number of additional parameters to the
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "enable_csum"
|
|
.It Ar grekey
|
|
Set the GRE key used for outgoing packets.
|
|
A value of 0 disables the key option.
|
|
.It Ar enable_csum
|
|
Enables checksum calculation for outgoing packets.
|
|
.It Ar enable_seq
|
|
Enables use of sequence number field in the GRE header for outgoing packets.

.Pp
|
|
Assuming router A has the (external) IP address A and the internal address
|
|
192.168.1.1, while router B has external address B and internal address
|
|
192.168.2.1, the following commands will configure the tunnel:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On router A:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ifconfig greN create
|
|
ifconfig greN inet 192.168.1.1 192.168.2.1
|
|
ifconfig greN inet tunnel A B
|
|
route add -net 192.168.2 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On router B:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ifconfig greN create
|
|
ifconfig greN inet 192.168.2.1 192.168.1.1
|
|
ifconfig greN inet tunnel B A
|
|
route add -net 192.168.1 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
The MTU of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interfaces is set to 1476 by default, to match the value used by Cisco routers.
|
|
This may not be an optimal value, depending on the link between the two tunnel
|
|
endpoints.
|
|
It can be adjusted via
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For correct operation, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device needs a route to the decapsulating host that does not run over the tunnel,
|
|
as this would be a loop.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The kernel must be set to forward datagrams by setting the
|
|
.Va net.inet.ip.forwarding
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
variable to non-zero.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The current implementation uses the key only for outgoing packets.
|
|
Incoming packets with a different key or without a key will be treated as if they
|
|
would belong to this interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The sequence number field also used only for outgoing packets.
