.Dt NG_GIF 4
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ng_gif
|
|
.Nd generic tunnel interface netgraph node type
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In netgraph/ng_gif.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
netgraph node type allows
|
|
.Xr gif 4
|
|
interfaces to interact with
|
|
the
|
|
.Xr netgraph 4
|
|
networking subsystem.
|
|
Once the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module is loaded in the kernel, a node is automatically created
|
|
for each
|
|
.Xr gif 4
|
|
interface in the system.
|
|
Each node will attempt to name itself with the same name
|
|
as the associated interface.
|
|
All
|
|
.Nm
|
|
nodes are persistent for as long as the interface itself exists.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Two hooks are supported:
|
|
.Dv lower
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv orphans .
|
|
The hook name
|
|
.Dv divert
|
|
may be used as an alias for
|
|
.Dv lower ,
|
|
and is provided for compatibility with
|
|
.Xr ng_ether 4 .
|
|
In reality the two names represent the same hook.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv lower
|
|
hook is a connection to the raw
|
|
.Xr gif 4
|
|
device.
|
|
When connected, all incoming packets are diverted out this hook.
|
|
Writing to this hook results in a raw encapsulated packet being transmitted
|
|
by the device.
|
|
Normal outgoing packets are not affected by
|
|
.Dv lower
|
|
being connected.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv orphans
|
|
hook is equivalent to
|
|
.Dv lower ,
|
|
except that only unrecognized packets (that would otherwise be discarded)
|
|
are written to the hook, and normal incoming traffic is unaffected.
|
|
At most one of
|
|
.Dv orphans
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv lower
|
|
may be connected at any time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In all cases, frames are raw packets with the address family of the
|
|
packet attached to the front.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When no hooks are connected, packets flow normally upwards and downwards.
|
|
.Sh HOOKS
|
|
This node type supports the following hooks:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv orphans"
|
|
.It Dv lower
|
|
Connection to the lower device link layer.
|
|
.It Dv orphans
|
|
Like
|
|
.Dv lower ,
|
|
but only receives unrecognized packets.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh CONTROL MESSAGES
|
|
This node type supports only the generic control messages.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
This command dumps all unrecognized packets received by the
|
|
.Li gif0
|
|
interface to standard output decoded in hex and ASCII:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "nghook -a gif0: orphans"
