HP-UX IPSec Overview

HP-UX IPSec Configuration and Management Features

The ipsec_policy utility takes a packet definition (local and remote IP addresses, upper-layer protocol, local and remote port numbers) as input and reports the IPSec policy that HP-UX IPSec would apply to packets matching the definition.

Audit logging

HP-UX IPSec maintains an audit log of events, including events that may indicate attempts to compromise network security.

Data reporting utility

The ipsec_report utility reports IPSec runtime data, including information about SAs and entries in the audit log.

Status reporting utility

The ipsec_admin utility reports the status of HP-UX IPSec components. The ipsec_admin utility also performs general administrative functions, such as starting and stopping HP-UX IPSec, setting the audit level, and deleting or resetting runtime data.
