NOS-TUN(8)		    System Manager's Manual		    NOS-TUN(8)

NAME
       nos-tun -- implement ``nos'' or ``ka9q''	style IP over IP tunnel

SYNOPSIS
       nos-tun	-t tunnel -s source -d destination -p protocol_number [source]
	       target

DESCRIPTION
       The nos-tun utility is used to establish	an  nos	 style	tunnel,	 (also
       known as	ka9q or	IP-IP tunnel) using a tun(4) kernel interface.

       Tunnel is the name of the tunnel	device /dev/tun0 for example.

       Source and destination are the addresses	used on	the tunnel device.  If
       you  configure  the  tunnel  against  a	cisco router, use a netmask of
       "255.255.255.252" on the	cisco.	This is	because	the tunnel is a	point-
       to-point	interface in the FreeBSD end, a	concept	cisco does not	really
       implement.

       Protocol	 number	 sets tunnel mode.  Original KA9Q NOS uses 94 but many
       people use 4 on the worldwide backbone of ampr.org.

       Target is the address of	the remote tunnel device, this must match  the
       source address set on the remote	end.

EXAMPLES
       This end, a FreeBSD box on address 192.168.59.34:

	     nos-tun -t	/dev/tun0 -s 192.168.61.1 -d 192.168.61.2 192.168.56.45

       Remote cisco on address 192.168.56.45:

	     interface tunnel 0
	     ip	address	192.168.61.2 255.255.255.252
	     tunnel mode nos
	     tunnel destination	192.168.59.34
	     tunnel source 192.168.56.45

HISTORY
       The nos-tun utility appeared in FreeBSD 3.0.

AUTHORS
       Nickolay	 N.  Dudorov <nnd@itfs.nsk.su> wrote the program, Poul-Henning
       Kamp    <phk@FreeBSD.org>    wrote    the    man-page.	  Isao	  SEKI
       <iseki@gongon.com> added	a new flag, IP protocol	number.
