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  imple-
     ment.

     Protocol  number sets tunnel mode.  Original KA9Q NOS uses 94 but many peo-
     ple 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
