[9front] ethernet over gre

[9front] ethernet over gre

[Arne Meyer]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 526 bytes --]

Hello,

i finally found the time to polish up my implementation of ethernet over gre for 9front.
This is based on nusb/ether. It uses gre from the ip stack. I tested it with OpenBSD egre.
For now only ipv4 is supported for the outside of the tunnel.

9front:
ip address is 192.168.178.21

egre 192.168.178.20
ip/ipconfig -m 1400 ether /net/etherG0 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0

OpenBSD:

ifconfig egre0 create
ifconfig egre0 tunnel 192.168.178.20 192.168.178.21
ifconfig egre0 10.0.0.2/24 mtu 1400
ifconfig egre0 up

Greetings,
Arne

Re: [9front] ethernet over gre

[Jacob Moody]

This is pretty cool, could you write up a man page for it perhaps?

Thanks,

Re: [9front] ethernet over gre

I have no clue how to write a man page but I'll give it a try for sure!

Re: [9front] ethernet over gre

[Jacob Moody]

My advice is to read around the other man pages to get a broad idea of the format,
and if you have any questions about what a macro specifically does man(6) explains them
all in more detail. That's how I learned anyway. Feel free to ask if you run in to any issues.

Thanks!

Here is a patch for 9front with my first try for a man page.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+GRE is a tunneling protocol that can encapsulate a variety of network protocols inside an ip tunnel.
+.I egre
+creates an ethernet connection over ip to a remote host. The file system provided is compatible with ether(3) and is bound after /net so the device will appear as /net/etherGN.
+.PP
+With no option
+.I egre
+creates an ethernet tunnel to 
+.I remote 
+with a random source mac and binds to /net/etherG0.
+.PP
+.I Egre
+supports the following options:
+.TP 3
+.B a
+set the source mac address
+.TP
+.B i
+set the interface to /net/etherG[index]

Re: [9front] ethernet over gre

[Steve Simon]

just a suggestion…
 you could refactor a bit to take the ip address in the dialstring, as implemented in  telco(1).

i am not sure how much more useful that would really be but it might be classed as a slightly more plan9-ey implementation.

Re: [9front] ethernet over gre

[Arne Meyer]

hey Steve,
yes there is some refactoring to be done. the gre code in 9front is quite crufty and doesn't support ipv6 right now. It's next on my list.
