I am trying to setup a Cisco 2921/K9 router. The router has 3 gigabit ethernet ports and a CISCO EHWIC-4ESG 4-Port Gigabit WAN Interface Cardhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/CISCO-EHWIC-4ESG-4-Port-Gigabit-WAN-Interface-Card/323627581322?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649. I can not get a static IP address from Spectrum so I need to set up a tunnel. Does anyone has have any dealing with this type of setup. I am looking for a way to where to start from. 73's

Here's what you *may* want to consider:
- 44-net IP mappings change very frequently and it's very difficult to keep an eye on which ones do - you don't have a static IP - no-ip services will help keep you linked easier - consider a Pi for a post router to your Cisco
When I had a T1 line back in the day, I had a 2600 series router off my smartjack. While I had a 44-net IP and ran IPIP, it didn't "route" for me. My xNOS was my 44-net router at the time as it was anyway so I set my 2600 up as a node off of xNOS. I didn't have to worry about hourly route changes on 44/8 or anything else. NOS handled all that for me at the time - and there was no portal back then.
You may want to consider something like an RPi unit to act as your 44/8 post router system and use it as I did xNOS back then. The ram in your cisco will remain a LOT cleaner as well. The RPi can also handle a dyndns software to keep your IP updated in the portal.
To add, I don't know how much larger the nvram is on the 2921, but a 7206vxr with a npe400 was not enough when I was doing it. I had a script that would build the tunnel configs and routing then apply to run. It was a real hassle so I just use linux and rip44d and forget about it. If you can search the mailing list, this comes up every once in a while. I just searched and there is some wiki info out there also. Thanks, Jason Begley KY9J

I'd think about what Brian wrote about using a Raspberry Pi.
But if you must; you can look at this script by Antonio, AH6BW & Jason, KY9J that generates router tunnel configurations. Be aware that the UCSD address is now: 169.228.38.84
