20 The ip fou commands are used to create and delete receive ports for
21 Foo-over-UDP (FOU) as well as Generic UDP Encapsulation (GUE).
22
23 Foo-over-UDP allows encapsulating packets of an IP protocol directly
24 over UDP. The receiver infers the protocol of a packet received on a
25 FOU UDP port to be the protocol configured for the port.
26
27 Generic UDP Encapsulation (GUE) encapsulates packets of an IP protocol
28 within UDP and an encapsulation header. The encapsulation header con‐
29 tains the IP protocol number for the encapsulated packet.
30
31 When creating a FOU or GUE receive port, the port number is specified
32 in PORT argument. If FOU is used, the IP protocol number associated
33 with the port is specified in PROTO argument. You can bind a port to a
34 local address/interface, by specifying the address in the local IFADDR
35 argument or the device in the IFNAME argument. If you would like to
36 connect the port, you can specify the peer address in the peer IFADDR
37 argument and peer port in the peer_port PORT argument.
38
39 A FOU or GUE receive port is deleted by specifying PORT in the delete
40 command, as well as local address/interface or peer address/port (if
41 set).
42
44 Configure a FOU receive port for GRE bound to 7777
45 # ip fou add port 7777 ipproto 47
46
47 Configure a FOU receive port for IPIP bound to 8888
48 # ip fou add port 8888 ipproto 4
49
50 Configure a GUE receive port bound to 9999
51 # ip fou add port 9999 gue
52
53 Delete the GUE receive port bound to 9999
54 # ip fou del port 9999
55
56 Configure a FOU receive port for GRE bound to 1.2.3.4:7777
57 # ip fou add port 7777 ipproto 47 local 1.2.3.4
