AIX IKE and Linux affinity

It is possible to configure an AIX® IKE tunnel using Linux® configuration files.

To configure an AIX IKE tunnel using Linux configuration files, use the ikedb command with the -c flag (conversion option), which lets you use the /etc/ipsec.conf and /etc/ipsec.secrets Linux configuration files as IKE tunnel definitions. The ikedb command parses the Linux configuration files, creates an XML file, and optionally adds the XML tunnel definitions to the IKE database. You can then view the tunnel definitions by using the ikedb -g command.
