1 VPP as IKEv2 responder and strongSwan as initiator
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.

31 sudo ip link add gw type veth peer name swanif
32 sudo ip link set dev gw up

36 sudo ip link set dev priv up

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

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