.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Ikeping
|
|
sends and receives ISAKMP/IKE echo request and echo reply packets. These
|
|
packets are intended for diagnostics purposes, in a manner similar to
|
|
.IR ping (8)
|
|
does for ICMP echo request/reply packets.
|
|
.PP
|
|
At the time of this writing, the ISAKMP echo request/reply exchange is still
|
|
an internet-draft, and is therefore completely non-standard.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Ikeping
|
|
will bind to the local address given by
|
|
.B \-\-ikeaddress
|
|
and the port number given by
|
|
.B \-\-ikeport
|
|
defaulting to the wildcard address and the ISAKMP port 500. An ISAKMP
|
|
exchange of type 244 (a private use number) is sent to each of the
|
|
address/ports listed on the command line. The exchange number may be
|
|
overridden by the
|
|
.B \-\-exchangenum
|
|
option.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Ikeping
|
|
then listens for replies, printing them as they are received. Replies
|
|
are of exchange type 245 or the specified exchange number plus 1.
|
|
.I Ikeping
|
|
will keep listening until it either receives as many echo responses as it sent,
|
|
or until the timeout period (10 seconds) has been reached. Receipt of a
|
|
packet will reset the timer. The
|
|
.B \-\-wait
|
|
option can be used to specify a different timeout period.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the
|
|
.B \-\-listen
|
|
option is given, then
|
|
.I ikeping
|
|
will not send any packets. Instead, it will listen for them and reply to
|
|
each request received.
