reload-config show-schedule show-sa flush-sa delete-sa establish-sa vpn-connect vpn-disconnect show-event

is used to control racoon(8) operation, if ipsec-tools was configured with adminport support. Communication between and racoon(8) is done through a UNIX socket. By changing the default mode and ownership of the socket, you can allow non-root users to alter racoon(8) behavior, so do that with caution.

The following commands are available:

• reload-config This should cause racoon(8) to reload its configuration file. This seems completely broken at the time this man page is written.
• show-schedule Unknown command.
• isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec Dump the SA: All the SAs if no SA class is provided, or either ISAKMP SAs, IPsec ESP SAs, IPsec AH SAs, or all IPsec SAs. Use to increase verbosity.
• isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec is used to flush all SAs if no SA class is provided, or a class of SAs, either ISAKMP SAs, IPsec ESP SAs, IPsec AH SAs, or all IPsec SAs.
• establish-sa Establish an SA, either an ISAKMP SA, IPsec ESP SA, or IPsec AH SA. The optional can be used when establishing an ISAKMP SA while hybrid auth is in use. will prompt you for the password associated with and these credentials will be used in the Xauth exchange.

has the following format:

• dst
• dst/prefixlen/port {icmp|tcp|udp|any}

vpn-connect This is a particular case of the previous command. It will establish an ISAKMP SA with

saopts Delete an SA, either an ISAKMP SA, IPsec ESP SA, or IPsec AH SA.

vpn_gateway This is a particular case of the previous command. It will kill all SAs associated with

l Dump all events reported by racoon(8) then quit. The flag causes to not stop once all the events have been read, but rather to loop awaiting and reporting new events.

Command shortcuts are available:

• rc reload-config
• ss show-sa
• sc show-schedule
• fs flush-sa
• ds delete-sa
• es establish-sa
• vc vpn-connect
• vd vpn-disconnect
• se show-event

The command should exit with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors.
