sys_attrs_ipsec(5)

NAME

sys_attrs_ipsec - ipsec subsystem attributes

DESCRIPTION

This reference page lists and describes attributes for the Internet Protocol Security (ipsec) kernel subsystem. Refer to the sys_attrs(5) reference page for an introduction to the topic of kernel subsystem attributes. ip_secured A value that enables (1) or disables (0) the ability of IPsec to intercept packets when ipsecd is not running. If ipsecd is not running and the attribute is enabled, packets will be dropped. By default, this attribute is enabled when IPsec is started by using the normal startup procedures. Default value: 1 (enabled) Do not modify this attribute unless you understand the security consequences for your system. If you disable this attribute, you might send sensitive traffic without IPsec protection or receive traffic that should be blocked. passby_cluif_traffic A value that enables (1) or disables (0) a system's ability to pass traffic to and receive traffic from a cluster interconnect interface without Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) processing. Default value: 1 (enabled) We recommend that this attribute remain enabled. If you disable this attribute, you must then configure an IPsec policy to include the cluster interconnect addresses. However, even with an IPsec policy configured, it is not possible to secure all cluster interconnect traffic with IPsec as the cluster generates traffic before the security policy is started. See the Network Administration: Connections manual for more information about configuring IPsec. stats_update_interval The time interval between updates of IPsec Security Association (SA) statistics by the kernel. If you have a very large number of SAs, increase the stats_update_interval value to reduce the overhead of maintaining the statistics. Default value: 5 (seconds) Minimum value: 1 Maximum value: 60
