Hi there
I have started to config a Cisco rouer to serve as a gateway for the AMPRNET
I put in the command the following lines
interface Tunnel0
ip unnumbered Ethernet0
no ip directed-broadcast
tunnel source Ethernet0
tunnel destination 132.239.255.131
tunnel mode ipip
Unfortunately due to the way tunnels work in Cisco and other commercial routers you will
need to repeat that 300 times with different destinations and setup 500 routes to route
the
traffic, and repeat that regularly because the destinations and routes change all the
time.
With a Linux system instead of the Cisco you can automate that very easily. There are
possibilities to automate it on the Cisco (see that link Steve gave you) but still it will
be a lot
easier to just use a Raspberry Pi or other small Linux system.
