148 xfrm is an IP framework for transforming packets (such as encrypting
149 their payloads). This framework is used to implement the IPsec protocol
150 suite (with the state object operating on the Security Association
151 Database, and the policy object operating on the Security Policy Data‐
152 base). It is also used for the IP Payload Compression Protocol and fea‐
153 tures of Mobile IPv6.
154 ip xfrm state add add new state into xfrm
157 ip xfrm state update update existing state in xfrm
158 ip xfrm state allocspi allocate an SPI value
159 ip xfrm state delete delete existing state in xfrm
160 ip xfrm state get get existing state in xfrm
161 ip xfrm state deleteall delete all existing state in xfrm
162 ip xfrm state list print out the list of existing state in xfrm
163 ip xfrm state flush flush all state in xfrm
164 ip xfrm state count count all existing state in xfrm
165 ID is specified by a source address, destination address, transform
168 protocol XFRM-PROTO, and/or Security Parameter Index SPI. (For
169 IP Payload Compression, the Compression Parameter Index or CPI
170 is used for SPI.)
171 XFRM-PROTO
174 specifies a transform protocol: IPsec Encapsulating Security
175 Payload (esp), IPsec Authentication Header (ah), IP Payload Com‐
176 pression (comp), Mobile IPv6 Type 2 Routing Header (route2), or
177 Mobile IPv6 Home Address Option (hao).
178 ALGO-LIST
181 contains one or more algorithms to use. Each algorithm ALGO is
182 specified by:
183 · the algorithm type: encryption (enc), authentication
185 (auth or auth-trunc), authenticated encryption with asso‐
186 ciated data (aead), or compression (comp)
187 · the algorithm name ALGO-NAME (see below)
189 · (for all except comp) the keying material ALGO-KEYMAT,
191 which may include both a key and a salt or nonce value;
192 refer to the corresponding RFC
193 · (for auth-trunc only) the truncation length ALGO-TRUNC-
195 LEN in bits
196 · (for aead only) the Integrity Check Value length ALGO-
198 ICV-LEN in bits
199 Encryption algorithms include ecb(cipher_null), cbc(des),
201 cbc(des3_ede), cbc(cast5), cbc(blowfish), cbc(aes),
202 cbc(serpent), cbc(camellia), cbc(twofish), and
203 rfc3686(ctr(aes)).
204 Authentication algorithms include digest_null, hmac(md5),
206 hmac(sha1), hmac(sha256), hmac(sha384), hmac(sha512),
207 hmac(rmd160), and xcbc(aes).
208 Authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD) algorithms
210 include rfc4106(gcm(aes)), rfc4309(ccm(aes)), and
211 rfc4543(gcm(aes)).
212 Compression algorithms include deflate, lzs, and lzjh.
214 MODE specifies a mode of operation for the transform protocol. IPsec
217 and IP Payload Compression modes are transport, tunnel, and (for
218 IPsec ESP only) Bound End-to-End Tunnel (beet). Mobile IPv6
219 modes are route optimization (ro) and inbound trigger (in_trig‐
220 ger).
221 FLAG-LIST
224 contains one or more of the following optional flags: noecn, de‐
225 cap-dscp, nopmtudisc, wildrecv, icmp, af-unspec, align4, or esn.
226 SELECTOR
229 selects the traffic that will be controlled by the policy, based
230 on the source address, the destination address, the network de‐
231 vice, and/or UPSPEC.
232 UPSPEC selects traffic by protocol. For the tcp, udp, sctp, or dccp
235 protocols, the source and destination port can optionally be
236 specified. For the icmp, ipv6-icmp, or mobility-header proto‐
237 cols, the type and code numbers can optionally be specified.
238 For the gre protocol, the key can optionally be specified as a
239 dotted-quad or number. Other protocols can be selected by name
240 or number PROTO.
241 LIMIT-LIST
244 sets limits in seconds, bytes, or numbers of packets.
245 ENCAP encapsulates packets with protocol espinudp, espinudp-nonike, or
248 espintcp, using source port SPORT, destination port DPORT , and
249 original address OADDR.
250 MARK used to match xfrm policies and states
253 OUTPUT-MARK
256 used to set the output mark to influence the routing of the
257 packets emitted by the state
258 IF-ID xfrm interface identifier used to in both xfrm policies and
261 states
262 ip xfrm policy add add a new policy
266 ip xfrm policy update update an existing policy
267 ip xfrm policy delete delete an existing policy
268 ip xfrm policy get get an existing policy
269 ip xfrm policy deleteall delete all existing xfrm policies
270 ip xfrm policy list print out the list of xfrm policies
271 ip xfrm policy flush flush policies
272 nosock filter (remove) all socket policies from the output.
275 SELECTOR
278 selects the traffic that will be controlled by the policy, based
279 on the source address, the destination address, the network de‐
280 vice, and/or UPSPEC.
281 UPSPEC selects traffic by protocol. For the tcp, udp, sctp, or dccp
284 protocols, the source and destination port can optionally be
285 specified. For the icmp, ipv6-icmp, or mobility-header proto‐
286 cols, the type and code numbers can optionally be specified.
287 For the gre protocol, the key can optionally be specified as a
288 dotted-quad or number. Other protocols can be selected by name
289 or number PROTO.
290 DIR selects the policy direction as in, out, or fwd.
293 CTX sets the security context.
296 PTYPE can be main (default) or sub.
299 ACTION can be allow (default) or block.
302 PRIORITY
305 is a number that defaults to zero.
306 FLAG-LIST
309 contains one or both of the following optional flags: local or
310 icmp.
311 LIMIT-LIST
314 sets limits in seconds, bytes, or numbers of packets.
315 TMPL-LIST
318 is a template list specified using ID, MODE, REQID, and/or LEV‐
319 EL.
320 ID is specified by a source address, destination address, transform
323 protocol XFRM-PROTO, and/or Security Parameter Index SPI. (For
324 IP Payload Compression, the Compression Parameter Index or CPI
325 is used for SPI.)
326 XFRM-PROTO
329 specifies a transform protocol: IPsec Encapsulating Security
330 Payload (esp), IPsec Authentication Header (ah), IP Payload Com‐
331 pression (comp), Mobile IPv6 Type 2 Routing Header (route2), or
332 Mobile IPv6 Home Address Option (hao).
333 MODE specifies a mode of operation for the transform protocol. IPsec
336 and IP Payload Compression modes are transport, tunnel, and (for
337 IPsec ESP only) Bound End-to-End Tunnel (beet). Mobile IPv6
338 modes are route optimization (ro) and inbound trigger (in_trig‐
339 ger).
340 LEVEL can be required (default) or use.
343 ip xfrm policy count count existing policies
347 Use one or more -s options to display more details, including policy
350 hash table information.
351 ip xfrm policy set configure the policy hash table
355 Security policies whose address prefix lengths are greater than or
358 equal policy hash table thresholds are hashed. Others are stored in the
359 policy_inexact chained list.
360 LBITS specifies the minimum local address prefix length of policies
363 that are stored in the Security Policy Database hash table.
364 RBITS specifies the minimum remote address prefix length of policies
367 that are stored in the Security Policy Database hash table.
368 ip xfrm monitor state monitoring for xfrm objects
372 The xfrm objects to monitor can be optionally specified.
375 If the all-nsid option is set, the program listens to all network
378 namespaces that have a nsid assigned into the network namespace were
379 the program is running. A prefix is displayed to show the network
380 namespace where the message originates. Example:
381 [nsid 1]Flushed state proto 0
