unloadipsec Command

Purpose

Unloads a crypto module from the IP Security subsystem.

Syntax

unloadipsec -c crypto_mod_name

Description

The unloadipsec command unloads a crypto module from the IP Security subsystem. The unloadipsec command can be used when a crypto module is no longer being used or when a crypto module is to be replaced with a newer version.

A crypto module can only be unloaded after the IP Security device is stopped. The steps for replacing a crypto module are: change the IP Security device to the defined state; unload the old crypto module using this command; uninstall the old module and install the new module, and bring the IP Security device back to the available state.

Flags

Item	Description
-c crypto_mod_name	Specifies the name of the crypto module to be unloaded. When used without any flag, the command lists all the crypto modules installed (but not necessarily loaded).
