NAME

gw6c - Gateway6 Client

SYNOPSIS

gw6c [-h ] [-? ]
gw6c [-f config_file ] [-i interface_name ] [-u interface_name ] [-s interface_name ] [-r retry_delay ]

DESCRIPTION

gw6c provides a means to configure a tunnel obtained from a tunnel server that supports the tunnel setup protocol (TSP). gw6c will connect to a tunnel server and request a tunnel according to the specifications given in the configuration file. As a background process, it will then monitor the state of the tunnel. In the event of a timeout, gw6c will establish a new tunnel.

gw6c currently supports three types of tunnels:

- v6v4 (IPv6 over IPv4): Supported on FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, Windows, Solaris, Darwin and OpenWRT.
- v6udpv4 (IPv6 over UDP over IPv4): Supported on FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, Darwin and OpenWRT.
- v4v6 (IPv4 over IPv6 (DSTM)): Supported on FreeBSD and Windows.

ARGUMENTS

The following options are available:

-h, ?: Displays a short usage summary and quits.
-f configuration_file: Specifies a different configuration file.
Default is /etc/gw6c/gw6c.conf.
-s interface_name: Overrides client_v4 in gw6c.conf5
-i interface_name: Overrides if_tunnel_v6v4 in gw6c.conf5
-u interface_name: Overrides if_tunnel_v6udpv4 in gw6c.conf5
-r retry_delay: Overrides retry_delay in gw6c.conf5
