Loading IP security

Use SMIT to automatically load the IP security modules when IP Security is started. Also, SMIT ensures that the kernel extensions and IKE daemons are loaded in the correct order.

Note: Loading IP Security enables the filtering function. Before loading, it is important to ensure the correct filter rules are created. Otherwise, all outside communication might be blocked.

If the loading completes successfully, the lsdev command shows the IP Security devices as Available.

lsdev -C -c ipsec

   ipsec_v4 Available IP Version 4 Security Extension
   ipsec_v6 Available IP Version 6 Security Extension
 

After the IP Security kernel extension has been loaded, tunnels and filters are ready to be configured.
