DESCRIPTION

xfrm is an IP framework for transforming packets (such as encrypting their payloads). This framework is used to implement the IPsec protocol suite (with the state object operating on the Security Association Database, and the policy object operating on the Security Policy Database). It is also used for the IP Payload Compression Protocol and features of Mobile IPv6.
 
ip xfrm state add add new state into xfrm
ip xfrm state update update existing state in xfrm
ip xfrm state allocspi allocate an SPI value
ip xfrm state delete delete existing state in xfrm
ip xfrm state get get existing state in xfrm
ip xfrm state deleteall delete all existing state in xfrm
ip xfrm state list print out the list of existing state in xfrm
ip xfrm state flush flush all state in xfrm
ip xfrm state count count all existing state in xfrm
ip xfrm monitor state monitoring for xfrm objects
 
ID
is specified by a source address, destination address, transform protocol XFRM-PROTO, and/or Security Parameter Index SPI. (For IP Payload Compression, the Compression Parameter Index or CPI is used for SPI.)
 
XFRM-PROTO
specifies a transform protocol: IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (esp), IPsec Authentication Header (ah), IP Payload Compression (comp), Mobile IPv6 Type 2 Routing Header (route2), or Mobile IPv6 Home Address Option (hao).
 
ALGO-LIST
contains one or more algorithms to use. Each algorithm ALGO is specified by:
•
the algorithm type: encryption (enc), authentication (auth or auth-trunc), authenticated encryption with associated data (aead), or compression (comp)
•
the algorithm name ALGO-NAME (see below)
•
(for all except comp) the keying material ALGO-KEYMAT, which may include both a key and a salt or nonce value; refer to the corresponding RFC
•
(for auth-trunc only) the truncation length ALGO-TRUNC-LEN in bits
•
(for aead only) the Integrity Check Value length ALGO-ICV-LEN in bits
 
Encryption algorithms include ecb(cipher_null), cbc(des), cbc(des3_ede), cbc(cast5), cbc(blowfish), cbc(aes), cbc(serpent), cbc(camellia), cbc(twofish), and rfc3686(ctr(aes)).
 
Authentication algorithms include digest_null, hmac(md5), hmac(sha1), hmac(sha256), hmac(sha384), hmac(sha512), hmac(rmd610), and xcbc(aes).
 
Authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) algorithms include rfc4106(gcm(aes)), rfc4309(ccm(aes)), and rfc4543(gcm(aes)).
 
Compression algorithms include deflate, lzs, and lzjh.
 
MODE
specifies a mode of operation for the transform protocol. IPsec and IP Payload Compression modes are transport, tunnel, and (for IPsec ESP only) Bound End-to-End Tunnel (beet). Mobile IPv6 modes are route optimization (ro) and inbound trigger (in_trigger).
 
FLAG-LIST
contains one or more of the following optional flags: noecn, decap-dscp, nopmtudisc, wildrecv, icmp, af-unspec, or align4.
 
SELECTOR
selects the traffic that will be controlled by the policy, based on the source address, the destination address, the network device, and/or UPSPEC.
 
UPSPEC
selects traffic by protocol. For the tcp, udp, sctp, or dccp protocols, the source and destination port can optionally be specified. For the icmp, ipv6-icmp, or mobility-header protocols, the type and code numbers can optionally be specified. For the gre protocol, the key can optionally be specified as a dotted-quad or number. Other protocols can be selected by name or number PROTO.
 
LIMIT-LIST
sets limits in seconds, bytes, or numbers of packets.
 
ENCAP
encapsulates packets with protocol espinudp or espinudp-nonike, using source port SPORT, destination port DPORT , and original address OADDR.
 
ip xfrm policy add add a new policy
ip xfrm policy update update an existing policy
ip xfrm policy delete delete an existing policy
ip xfrm policy get get an existing policy
ip xfrm policy deleteall delete all existing xfrm policies
ip xfrm policy list print out the list of xfrm policies
ip xfrm policy flush flush policies
ip xfrm policy count count existing policies
 
SELECTOR
selects the traffic that will be controlled by the policy, based on the source address, the destination address, the network device, and/or UPSPEC.
 
UPSPEC
selects traffic by protocol. For the tcp, udp, sctp, or dccp protocols, the source and destination port can optionally be specified. For the icmp, ipv6-icmp, or mobility-header protocols, the type and code numbers can optionally be specified. For the gre protocol, the key can optionally be specified as a dotted-quad or number. Other protocols can be selected by name or number PROTO.
 
DIR
selects the policy direction as in, out, or fwd.
 
CTX
sets the security context.
 
PTYPE
can be main (default) or sub.
 
ACTION
can be allow (default) or block.
 
PRIORITY
is a number that defaults to zero.
 
FLAG-LIST
contains one or both of the following optional flags: local or icmp.
 
LIMIT-LIST
sets limits in seconds, bytes, or numbers of packets.
 
TMPL-LIST
is a template list specified using ID, MODE, REQID, and/or LEVEL.
 
ID
is specified by a source address, destination address, transform protocol XFRM-PROTO, and/or Security Parameter Index SPI. (For IP Payload Compression, the Compression Parameter Index or CPI is used for SPI.)
 
XFRM-PROTO
specifies a transform protocol: IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (esp), IPsec Authentication Header (ah), IP Payload Compression (comp), Mobile IPv6 Type 2 Routing Header (route2), or Mobile IPv6 Home Address Option (hao).
 
MODE
specifies a mode of operation for the transform protocol. IPsec and IP Payload Compression modes are transport, tunnel, and (for IPsec ESP only) Bound End-to-End Tunnel (beet). Mobile IPv6 modes are route optimization (ro) and inbound trigger (in_trigger).
 
LEVEL
can be required (default) or use.
 
The xfrm objects to monitor can be optionally specified.
