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(rmd160), 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, espinudp-nonike, or espintcp, using
              source port SPORT, destination port DPORT , and original address OADDR.

       MARK   used to match xfrm policies and states

       OUTPUT-MARK
              used to set the output mark to influence the routing of the packets emitted by  the
              state

       IF-ID  xfrm interface identifier used to in both xfrm policies and states

       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

       nosock filter (remove) all socket policies from the output.

       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
