NAME
       ipsec__updown - kernel and routing manipulation script

SYNOPSIS
       _updown is invoked by pluto when it has brought up a new connection.
       This script is used to insert the appropriate routing entries for IPsec
       operation on some kernel IPsec stacks, such as KLIPS and MAST, and may
       do other necessary work that is kernel or user specific, such as
       defining custom firewall rules. The interface to the script is
       documented in the pluto man page.

VARIABLES
       The _updown is passed along a number of variables which can be used to
       act differently based on the information:

       PLUTO_VERSION
	   indicates what version of this interface is being used. This
	   document describes version 1.1. This is upwardly compatible with
	   version 1.0.

       PLUTO_VERB
	   specifies the name of the operation to be performed, which can be
	   one of prepare-host, prepare-client, up-host, up-client, down-host
	   or down-client. If the address family for security gateway to
	   security gateway communications is IPv6, then a suffix of -v6 is
	   added to this verb.

       PLUTO_CONNECTION
	   is the name of the connection for which we are routing.

       PLUTO_NEXT_HOP
	   is the next hop to which packets bound for the peer must be sent.

       PLUTO_INTERFACE
	   is the name of the ipsec interface to be used.

       PLUTO_ME
	   is the IP address of our host.

       PLUTO_MY_CLIENT
	   is the IP address / count of our client subnet. If the client is
	   just the host, this will be the host´s own IP address / max (where
	   max is 32 for IPv4 and 128 for IPv6).

       PLUTO_MY_CLIENT_NET
	   is the IP address of our client net. If the client is just the
	   host, this will be the host´s own IP address.

       PLUTO_MY_CLIENT_MASK
	   is the mask for our client net. If the client is just the host,
	   this will be 255.255.255.255.

       PLUTO_PEER
	   is the IP address of our peer.

       PLUTO_PEER_CLIENT
	   is the IP address / count of the peer´s client subnet. If the
	   client is just the peer, this will be the peer´s own IP address /
	   max (where max is 32 for IPv4 and 128 for IPv6).

       PLUTO_PEER_CLIENT_NET
	   is the IP address of the peer´s client net. If the client is just
	   the peer, this will be the peer´s own IP address.

       PLUTO_PEER_CLIENT_MASK
	   is the mask for the peer´s client net. If the client is just the
	   peer, this will be 255.255.255.255.

       PLUTO_MY_PROTOCOL
	   lists the protocols allowed over this IPsec SA.

       PLUTO_PEER_PROTOCOL
	   lists the protocols the peer allows over this IPsec SA.

       PLUTO_MY_PORT
	   lists the ports allowed over this IPsec SA.

       PLUTO_PEER_PORT
	   lists the ports the peer allows over this IPsec SA.

       PLUTO_MY_ID
	   lists our id.

       PLUTO_PEER_ID
	   lists our peer´s id.

       PLUTO_PEER_CA
	   lists the peer´s CA.
