ipsec_convert Command

Purpose

Converts IP Security tunnel export files to a format that can be imported by the IBM® Secure Network Gateway.

Syntax

ipsec_convert SNG22 | FW31 [-f export_directory]

Description

IP Security allows the importing of IBM Secure Network Gateway 2.2 and IBM Firewall 3.1 tunnels using the imptun command. However, these firewall products do not allow the reverse capability. The ipsec_convert command allows for this capability by translating exported IP Security tunnels to IBM Firewall tunnels. The translated files will be placed in the current directory.

Flags

Item Description
SNG22 | FW31 Specifies whether the format of the resulting files will be in the format of IBM Secure Network Gateway 2.2 or IBM Firewall 3.1 format.
-f Specifies the directory where the exported IPSec files are located.
