ipsec-replace - Replace a connection definition with one from /etc/ipsec.conf

ipsec replace connection [--config /etc/ipsec.conf] [--ctlsocket /run/pluto/pluto.ctl]

ipsec replace replaces a connection definition from pluto internal database with one from /etc/ipsec.conf. Replace is very similar to ipsec add but it first deletes old connection specification and old tunnels using same connection name.

This only replaces the connection description making it possible for remote to connect. To initialize the connection you need to use ipsec up.
