266 Source/destination of the secure communication is specified as
267 an IPv4/v6 address, and an optional port number between square
270 can resolve a FQDN into numeric addresses.
271 If the FQDN resolves into multiple addresses,
273 will install multiple SAD/SPD entries into the kernel
274 by trying all possible combinations.
279 restrict the address resolution of FQDN in certain ways.
283 restrict results into IPv4/v6 addresses only, respectively.

403 the kernel will use well-known CPI on wire, and
405 field will be used only as an index for kernel internal usage.

425 These select the communications that should be secured by IPsec.
426 They can be an IPv4/v6 address or an IPv4/v6 address range, and
427 may be accompanied by a TCP/UDP port specification.
428 This takes the following form:
431 .Ar address/prefixlen
433 .Ar address/prefixlen[port]
439 must be decimal numbers.
440 The square brackets around
442 are really necessary,
443 they are not man page meta-characters.
444 For FQDN resolution, the rules applicable to
452 Upper-layer protocol to be used.
453 You can use one of the words in
465 You can also use the protocol number.
466 You can specify a type and/or a code of ICMPv6 when the
467 upper-layer protocol is ICMPv6.
468 The specification can be placed after
470 A type is separated from a code by single comma.
471 A code must always be specified.
472 When a zero is specified, the kernel deals with it as a wildcard.
473 Note that the kernel can not distinguish a wildcard from an ICPMv6
475 For example, the following means that the policy doesn't require IPsec
476 for any inbound Neighbor Solicitation.
477 .Dl spdadd ::/0 ::/0 icmp6 135,0 -P in none ;
481 does not work against forwarding case at this moment,
482 as it requires extra reassembly at the forwarding node
483 .Pq not implemented at this moment .
484 There are many protocols in
486 but all protocols except of TCP, UDP, and ICMP may not be suitable
488 You have to consider carefully what to use.

494 .Bd -literal -offset indent

496 .It Fl P Ar direction [priority specification] Li none
497 .It Xo Fl P Ar direction [priority specification] Li ipsec
498 .Ar protocol/mode/src-dst/level Op ...
502 You must specify the direction of its policy as
511 .Ar priority specification
512 is used to control the placement of the policy within the SPD.
513 Policy position is determined by
514 a signed integer where higher priorities indicate the policy is placed
515 closer to the beginning of the list and lower priorities indicate the
516 policy is placed closer to the end of the list.
517 Policies with equal priorities are added at the end of groups
521 be specified when setkey has been compiled against kernel headers that
522 support policy priorities (Linux \*[Gt]= 2.6.6).
523 If the kernel does not support priorities, a warning message will
524 be printed the first time a priority specification is used.
525 Policy priority takes one of the following formats:
526 .Bl -tag -width "discard"
528 .Ar {priority,prio} offset
531 is an integer in the range from \-2147483647 to 214783648.
533 .Ar {priority,prio} base {+,\-} offset
537 .Li low (\-1073741824) ,
540 .Li high (1073741824)
543 is an unsigned integer.
544 It can be up to 1073741824 for
545 positive offsets, and up to 1073741823 for negative offsets.
549 means the packet matching indexes will be discarded.
551 means that IPsec operation will not take place onto the packet.
553 means that IPsec operation will take place onto the packet.
556 .Ar protocol/mode/src-dst/level
557 part specifies the rule how to process the packet.
574 you must specify the end-point addresses of the SA as
580 between these addresses, which is used to specify the SA to use.
591 is to be one of the following:
592 .Li default , use , require ,
595 If the SA is not available in every level, the kernel will
596 ask the key exchange daemon to establish a suitable SA.
598 means the kernel consults the system wide default for the protocol
599 you specified, e.g. the
601 sysctl variable, when the kernel processes the packet.
603 means that the kernel uses an SA if it's available,
604 otherwise the kernel keeps normal operation.
606 means SA is required whenever the kernel sends a packet matched
611 in addition, it allows the policy to match the unique out-bound SA.
612 You just specify the policy level
615 will configure the SA for the policy.
616 If you configure the SA by manual keying for that policy,
617 you can put a decimal number as the policy identifier after
623 in order to bind this policy to the SA.
625 must be between 1 and 32767.
628 of the manual SA configuration.
629 When you want to use SA bundle, you can define multiple rules.
630 For example, if an IP header was followed by an AH header followed
631 by an ESP header followed by an upper layer protocol header, the
633 .Dl esp/transport//require ah/transport//require ;
634 The rule order is very important.
636 When NAT-T is enabled in the kernel, policy matching for ESP over
637 UDP packets may be done on endpoint addresses and port
638 (this depends on the system.
639 System that do not perform the port check cannot support
640 multiple endpoints behind the same NAT).
641 When using ESP over UDP, you can specify port numbers in the endpoint
642 addresses to get the correct matching.
645 spdadd 10.0.11.0/24[any] 10.0.11.33/32[any] any -P out ipsec
646 esp/tunnel/192.168.0.1[4500]-192.168.1.2[30000]/require ;
649 These ports must be left unspecified (which defaults to 0) for
650 anything other than ESP over UDP.
651 They can be displayed in SPD dump using

660 .Xr ipsec_set_policy 3 .
661 There are a few differences in the syntax.
