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

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.
