       ip xfrm monitor [ all | LISTofXFRM-OBJECTS ]

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.
