Applies to: NetMAX VPN Server Suite version 3.1 - 4.0x

We recommend that you control the VPN system through the NetMAX interface.  You may use the following information at your own risk.

The following scripts are present to control the VPN subsystem:

/usr/netmax/etc/rc.d/isakmpd.sh

Controls the operation of the Internet Key Exchange daemon.

This is the mechanism responsible for transporting and interpretting
authentication data.

Available commands are:

/usr/netmax/etc/rc.d/isakmpd.sh stop
  Stops the authentication mechanism

/usr/netmax/etc/rc.d/isakmpd.sh start
  Starts the authentication mechanism

/usr/netmax/etc/rc.d/isakmpd.sh restart
  Restarts the authentication mechanism


/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipsec

Controls the configuration of the "virtual" network interfaces
responsible for IPSEC communication.

This is the mechanism responsible for transporting and interpretting
encrypted communications across a VPN tunnel.

Available commands are:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipsec stop
  Disables IPSEC communication and "brings down" virtual interfaces.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipsec start
  Enables IPSEC communication and "brings up" virtual interfaces.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ipsec restart
  Restarts IPSEC communication and "brings down" virtual interfaces,
  then brings them back up.
