.Dt GRECONFIG 8
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm greconfig
.Nd set characteristics of the
.Xr gre 4
pseudo device
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Fl i Ar unit
.Op Fl v
.Nm ""
.Fl i Ar unit
.Op Fl d Ar dst
.Op Fl s Ar src
.Op Fl p Ar proto
.Op Fl v
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is used to manipulate or display the characteristics of the
.Xr gre 4
tunnel device. The first form shown above displays the current
parameters, while the second one sets parameters to new values.
.Pp
The options have the following meanings:
.Bl -tag -width flag
.It Fl i Ar unit
Denotes the interface that is to be set/displayed. Unit is in the form
.Dq greN
where N is an integer from zero to the maximum numbers of
units. This option is always required.
.It Fl d Ar dst
Sets the IP address of the remote tunnel end. This may be the same as the
tunnel destination set with
.Xr ifconfig 8
when IP packets are to be encapsulated.
.It Fl s Ar src
Sets the IP address of the local tunnel end. This may be the same as
the tunnel gateway set with
.Xr ifconfig 8
when IP packets are to be encapsulated.
.It Fl p Ar proto
Sets the way how packets are encapsulated. Currently supported values are:
.Bl -tag -width aaa
.It 47 GRE encapsulation as described in RFC 1701,1702
.It 55 MOBILE encapsulation as described in RFC 2004
.El
.It Fl v
Give a little more verbose output when running
.Nm Ns .
.El
.Pp
Note that the values for
.Ar src ,
.Ar dst ,
.Ar proto
must be coordinated with the remote end of the tunnel.
.Pp
For tunnels that run IP as encapsulated protocol, the tunnel endpoints
can be set with the normal
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
In this case, the encapsulation protocol can be chosen by giving
.Dq link0
for IPIP encapsulation and
.Dq -link0
GRE encapsulation
as arguments to
.Xr ifconfig 8 .

A description of GRE encapsulation can be found in RFC 1701, RFC 1702.
.Pp
A description of MOBILE encapsulation can be found in RFC 2004.
