mktun Command

Purpose

Activates tunnel(s).

Syntax

mktun [-v 4|6] [-t tid_list] [-i]

Description

Use the mktun command to activate tunnel(s). For IBM tunnels, this command causes the security protocol exchanges to be initiated between the local and the destination host.

Flags

-v	The IP version of the tunnel(s) to be activated. The value of 4 specifies IP version 4 tunnels. The value of 6 specifies IP version 6 tunnels. If this flag is not used, all tunnels for IP version 4 and IP version 6 will be activated.
-t	If this flag is specified, only the tunnel(s) that follow this flag will be activated. If this flag is not used, all tunnel(s) currently defined in the tunnel database are activated. The tid_list can be a single tunnel ID or a sequence of tunnel IDs separated by "," or "-" (1, 3, 5-7).
-i	Initiation flag. If this flag is not used, all the tunnels in the tunnel database (or those listed with the -t flag) will be activated. If the -i flag is used, only the tunnels whose tunnel definitions are in the tunnel database with the status of "active" will be activated.
