Be sure to include the following information when reporting problems:

  • A complete description of the problem and any error messages. Include information about the local system (IP addresses), IP addresses of relevant remote systems, and routing table information (netstat -rn output), if appropriate. Also include a description of what works as well as what does not work.

  • Output from ipsec_admin -status.

  • Output from ipsec_report -all.

  • Output from ipsec_policy. 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), re-create 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. After that, it is a hex dump.
  • Relevant configuration files. IPSec/9000 security policy file:

    /var/adm/ipsec/policies.txt (default)

    For a formatted listing of the IPSec and ISAKMP policies, select "Print Policies" from the ipsec_mgr File menu.

    Security certificate files, if you are using them:

    /var/adm/ipsec/cainfo.txt

    /var/adm/ipsec/certs.txt

    IP configuration file:

    /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

  • If you are using pre-shared keys, include a screen capture of the Preshared Keys screen, or other documentation of the pre-shared keys.

  • If the problem is reproducible, rerun it with the audit level set to informative.

  • Run 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
