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
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, align4, or
esn.
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
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.
ip xfrm policy count count existing policies
Use one or more -s options to display more details, including policy
hash table information.
ip xfrm policy set configure the policy hash table
Security policies whose address prefix lengths are greater than or
equal policy hash table thresholds are hashed. Others are stored in the
policy_inexact chained list.
LBITS specifies the minimum local address prefix length of policies
that are stored in the Security Policy Database hash table.
RBITS specifies the minimum remote address prefix length of policies
that are stored in the Security Policy Database hash table.
ip xfrm monitor state monitoring for xfrm objects
The xfrm objects to monitor can be optionally specified.
If the all-nsid option is set, the program listens to all network
namespaces that have a nsid assigned into the network namespace were
the program is running. A prefix is displayed to show the network
namespace where the message originates. Example:
[nsid 1]Flushed state proto 0
