.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBipsec addconn\fR
takes a config file (or stdin) containing the format of ipsec\&.conf, or the format of individual "conn" sections, and uses that information to load named or all connections defined in that configuration file into the running libreswan pluto IKE daemon\&. If no configuration file is specified, the default configuration file is used\&. If no pluto socket is specified, the default socket location will be used\&.
.PP
When
\fB\-\-addall\fR
is used, all connections defined in the config file will be operated on\&. Otherwise, only the specified connection names will be affected\&.
.PP
When addcon is run, connections that have the
\fIauto=\fR
option set to
\fBadd\fR,
\fBstart\fR
or
\fBroute\fR
will be loaded, routed or initiated\&. If a connection was loaded or initiated already, it will be replaced\&.
.PP
When
\fB\-\-configsetup\fR
is specified, the configuration file is parsed for the
\fIconfig setup\fR
section and printed to the terminal usable as a shell script\&. These are prefaced with
\fIexport \fR
unless
\fB\-\-noexport\fR
is specified\&.
.PP
When
\fB\-\-checkconfig\fR
is specified, the configuration file is parsed and all sections are checked for correct syntax\&. If an error is found, information about it is printed to the terminal\&.
.PP
When
\fB\-\-listroute\fR
or
\fB\-\-liststart\fR
is specified, no connections are added or replaced, only shown\&. This command can be used to verify which connections the addcon command would act upon, without actually performing any action\&.
