Description

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 general options are available:

-d

Debug mode. Hexdump sent admin port commands.

-l

Increase verbosity. Mainly for show-sa command.

-s socket

Specify unix socket name used to connecting racoon.

The following commands are available:

reload-config

This should cause racoon(8) to reload its configuration file.

show-schedule

Unknown command.

show-sa [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 –l to increase verbosity.

get-sa-cert [inet|inet6 src dst ]

Output the raw certificate that was used to authenticate the phase 1 matching src and dst

flush-sa [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 [-w [-n remoteconf [-u username ] ]

Oc Ar saopts Establish an SA, either an ISAKMP SA, IPsec ESP SA, or IPsec AH SA. The optional –u username can be used when establishing an ISAKMP SA while hybrid auth is in use. The exact remote block to use can be specified with –n remoteconf will prompt you for the password associated with username and these credentials will be used in the Xauth exchange. Specifying –w will make racoonctl wait until the SA is actually established or an error occurs. saopts has the following format:

isakmp {inet|inet6} src dst

{esp|ah} {inet|inet6} src/prefixlen/port dst/prefixlen/port

{icmp|tcp|udp|gre|any}

vpn-connect [-u username vpn_gateway ]

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

delete-sa saopts

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

vpn-disconnect vpn_gateway

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

show-event

Listen for all events reported by racoon(8).

logout-user login

Delete all SA established on behalf of the Xauth user login

History

Once was kmpstat in the KAME project. It turned into but remained undocumented for a while. An Emmanuel Dreyfus Aq manu [at] NetBSD.org wrote this man page.
