[strongSwan] How to differentiate between strongswan kernel config and manual

2018-02-21 Thread manimuthu m a 
Hi All,

I am wondering whether there is any way to differentiate between
strongswan SP and SA vs manually configured one.

In one of my previous mail, I was clarified that strongswan doesn't support
non-IKE sessions that is fixed SA configurations.

Is there a way to differentiate between non-strongswan SP and SA with
strongswan SP and SA in linux.

>From what i read in the latest version strongswan wont be using SPI less
than 0xC000. if that is the case, if for manual we restrict SPI less
than that we can easily differentiate SAs.

But how about SPs?

Linux as something called as index in SP? Would it be wise to set that
index to one for all manual SPs.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Manimuthu.

[strongSwan] Manual SA using strongswan

HI All,

My sincere apology for my ignorance.

I just started to work on strongswan and ipsec in linux. My need is very
simple for now, I tried googling it for more than a week. Most probably I
didn't use the right term.

Can we establish manual SA using strongswan? if so can someone help me with
an example?

Once again sorry for my ignorance.

Regards,
Manimuthu.
