HP-UX IPSec Version A.03.02.02 Administrator's Guide HP-UX 11i version 2 and HP-UX 11i version 3 (762800-001, April 2014)
• Output from the ipsec_policy command. Specify as many parameters as you can (source
IP address, source port, destination IP address, destination port, protocol).
• If the problem may be caused by the transport or application layer, enable layer four tracing
(ipsec_admin -traceon ), recreate the problem, and then disable tracing (ipsec_admin
-traceoff ). Trace output will be sent to /var/admin/ipsec/nettl.TRC0 and /var/
admin/ipsec/nettl.TRC , if nettl tracing is not already enabled and directed to another
file set.
NOTE: IP and ICMP tracing are still available when IPsec is running. Packets secured with
AH are still in clear text and the packet contents are still visible through a nettl trace. The
output format using netfmt can only be parsed for the IP header. The netfmt utility displays
any data following the IP header as hexadecimal values.
• A formatted listing of the configuration database. Use the following command to get a listing:
ipsec_config show all
If you are using security certificates, include the contents of the /var/adm/ipsec/
certstore/ directory.
• If you are using security certificates, include the output from the following commands:
ipsec_config show mycert
ipsec_config show cacert
• The contents of the IP configuration file:
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
• If the problem is reproducible, re-create it with the audit level set to informative.
• Output from the following ndd commands:
ndd -get /dev/ip ip_ipsec_polist
ndd -get /dev/ip ip_ipsec_salist
ndd -get /dev/ip ip_ipsec_status
