DESCRIPTION
The
ipsecctl
utility controls flows that determine which packets are to be processed by
IPsec.
It allows ruleset configuration, and retrieval of status information from the
kernel's SPD (Security Policy Database) and SAD (Security Association
Database).
It also can control
isakmpd(8)
and establish tunnels using automatic keying with
isakmpd(8).
The ruleset grammar is described in
ipsec.conf(5).
The options are as follows:
-D macro
Define
macro
to be set to
value
on the command line.
Overrides the definition of
macro
in the ruleset.
-d
When the
-d
option is set, specified flows will be deleted from the SPD.
Otherwise,
ipsecctl
will add flows.
-F
The
-F
option flushes the SPD and the SAD.
-f file
Load the rules contained in
file.
-k
Show secret keying material when printing the active SAD entries.
-m
Continuously display all
PF_KEY
messages exchanged with the kernel.
-n
Do not actually load rules, just parse them.
-s modifier
Show the kernel's databases, specified by
modifier
(may be abbreviated):
-s -flow
Show the ruleset loaded into the SPD.
-s -sa
Show the active SAD entries.
-s -all
Show all of the above.
-v
Produce more verbose output.
A second use of
-v
will produce even more verbose output.
