1 VPP as IKEv2 initiator and strongSwan as responder
2 ==================================================
7 To make the examples easier to configure ``docker`` it is required to
8 pull strongSwan docker image. The networking is done using Linux’ veth
9 interfaces and namespaces.

27 Create veth interfaces and namespaces and configure them:
31 sudo ip link add gw type veth peer name swanif
32 sudo ip link set dev gw up
35 sudo ip link add veth_priv type veth peer name priv
36 sudo ip link set dev priv up
37 sudo ip link set dev veth_priv up netns ns

43 ip route add 192.168.5.0/24 via 192.168.3.1"
45 Create directory with strongswan configs that will be mounted to the

111 -v /tmp/sswan:/conf -v /tmp/sswan:/etc/ipsec.d philplckthun/strongswan
113 Finish configuration of initiator’s private network:
117 pid=$(docker inspect --format "{{.State.Pid}}" sswan)

194 Now we can generate some traffic between responder’s and initiator’s
195 private networks and see it works.
