NAME

tspc – tunnel setup protocol client

SYNOPSIS

tspc [-h] [-?]

tspc [-v] [-f config_file] [-i interface_name] [-u interface_name] [-s interface_name] [-r retry delay]

DESCRIPTION

tspc provides a mean to configure a tunnel obtained from a tunnel server which is compliant to the tunnel setup protocol (TSP). tspc will connect to a tunnel server and request a tunnel according to the specifications inside the configuration file. As a background process, it will then monitor the state of the tunnel. In the event of a timeout, tspc will reestablish a new tunnel.

tspc currently supports two types of tunnels:

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

ARGUMENTS

The following options are available:

-h: Display a short usage summary and quit.
-v: Verbose level is set according to the number of v's on the command line.
-v, -vv, -vvv are valid.
-f configuration_file: Specifies a different configuration file.
Default is /installdir/bin/tspc.conf.
-s interface_name: Overrides client_v4 in tspc.conf(5)
-i interface_name: Overrides if_tunnel_v6v4 in tspc.conf(5)
-u interface_name: Overrides if_tunnel_v6udpv4 in tspc.conf(5)

DIAGNOSTICS

If verbose mode is on, messages will be sent to tspc.log and syslog.
