One AIX is much like another, since it escaped BSD, and it will be as healthy as IBM can manage for quite some time. It is good to work on UNIX skills, as any sysadmin should have them before going into the odd worlds of administrative tools and hardware configuration. Many SA also do some hardware work, in small shops, but for AIX small shops seem less likely. SA demand has been pretty good for a long time, as far as I can tell. Communications skills are not to be neglected, either. People want info from their SAs in polished forms.

racoonctl
RACOONCTL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual RACOONCTL(8)
NAME
racoonctl -- racoon administrative control tool
SYNOPSIS
racoonctl reload-config
racoonctl show-schedule
racoonctl [-l [-l]] show-sa [isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec]
racoonctl flush-sa [isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec]
racoonctl delete-sa saopts
racoonctl establish-sa [-u identity] saopts
racoonctl vpn-connect [-u -identity] vpn_gateway
racoonctl vpn-disconnect vpn_gateway
racoonctl show-event [-l]
racoonctl logout-user login
DESCRIPTION
racoonctl is used to control racoon(8) operation, if ipsec-tools was configured with adminport support. Communication between racoonctl and
racoon(8) is done through a UNIX socket. By changing the default mode and ownership of the socket, you can allow non-root users to alter
racoon(8) behavior, so do that with caution.
The following commands are available:
reload-config
This should cause racoon(8) to reload its configuration file.
show-schedule
Unknown command.
show-sa [isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec]
Dump the SA: All the SAs if no SA class is provided, or either ISAKMP SAs, IPsec ESP SAs, IPsec AH SAs, or all IPsec SAs. Use -l to
increase verbosity.
flush-sa [isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec]
is used to flush all SAs if no SA class is provided, or a class of SAs, either ISAKMP SAs, IPsec ESP SAs, IPsec AH SAs, or all IPsec
SAs.
establish-sa [-u username] saopts
Establish an SA, either an ISAKMP SA, IPsec ESP SA, or IPsec AH SA. The optional -u username can be used when establishing an ISAKMP
SA while hybrid auth is in use. racoonctl will prompt you for the password associated with username and these credentials will be
used in the Xauth exchange.
saopts has the following format:
isakmp {inet|inet6} src dst
{esp|ah} {inet|inet6} src/prefixlen/port dst/prefixlen/port
{icmp|tcp|udp|any}
vpn-connect [-u username] vpn_gateway
This is a particular case of the previous command. It will establish an ISAKMP SA with vpn_gateway.
delete-sa saopts
Delete an SA, either an ISAKMP SA, IPsec ESP SA, or IPsec AH SA.
vpn-disconnect vpn_gateway
This is a particular case of the previous command. It will kill all SAs associated with vpn_gateway.
show-event [-l]
Dump all events reported by racoon(8), then quit. The -l flag causes racoonctl to not stop once all the events have been read, but
rather to loop awaiting and reporting new events.
logout-user login
Delete all SA established on behalf of the Xauth user login.
Command shortcuts are available:
rc reload-config
ss show-sa
sc show-schedule
fs flush-sa
ds delete-sa
es establish-sa
vc vpn-connect
vd vpn-disconnect
se show-event
lu logout-user
RETURN VALUES
The command should exit with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors.
FILES
/var/racoon/racoon.sock or
/var/run/racoon.sock racoon(8) control socket.

HISTORY
Once was kmpstat in the KAME project. It turned into racoonctl but remained undocumented for a while. Emmanuel Dreyfus <manu@NetBSD.org>
wrote this man page.
