Activate and deactivate IPsec connection via CLI

dja

Hi,

I'm trying to activate and deactivate a specific IPsec connection via CLI.
Already tried "ipsec down <name>" at advanced shell, but that has no effect on the VPN connection.

In simple terms, I want to simulate a push of this button:

I welcome any suggestions on how it could work.
Many thanks!

Best regards,
Daniel

    Why doing this on the Shell? You could do this via API by saving the same rule again.

    Ahh. I haven't thought about the API yet. Thanks for the tip! I will have a look if I can solve it elegantly with it.

    Many thanks! With the API, I was able to solve it.

    In case someone needs the same and finds this thread. This is how it works:

    Deactivate connection:

    IP.OF.THE.FIREWALL:4444/.../APIController passwordform="encrypt">PASSWORD.AS.HASH.SEE.API.DOCUMENTATION</Password></Login><Set><VPNIPSecConnection><DeActive><Name>VPN.CONNECTION.NAME</Name></DeActive></VPNIPSecConnection></Set></Request>

    Activate connection:

    IP.OF.THE.FIREWALL:4444/.../APIController passwordform="encrypt">PASSWORD.AS.HASH.SEE.API.DOCUMENTATION</Password></Login><Set><VPNIPSecConnection><Active><Name>VPN.CONNECTION.NAME</Name></Active></VPNIPSecConnection></Set></Request>
