[Openswan Users] Updating the interface address problem

[Nikolay Dvoeglazov]

Hello,

I am having a problem with updating my interface's IP address after a script tries to re-establish a tunnel on uplink failure.

I have a script change my variables in a connection file and it does: ipsec auto --down, then ipsec --replace and then ipsec --up on the specific connection. The connection description gets updated, but not the interface's address.

000 interface lo/lo 127.0.0.1
000 interface eth0/eth0 169.254.33.87
000 interface eth1/eth1 192.168.1.1
000 interface wimax0/wimax0 "old_ip_addess"
000 %myid = (none)

000 "conntest": 192.168.0.0/24===*.*.*.* [@host1]---...*.*.*.*---"new_ip"[@host2]===192.168.1.0/24; unrouted; eroute owner: #0

I see a --iam address at interface mentioned in the ipsec --help output, but I couldn't get it to work, and the documentation seems sparse on that, so is Google.

Is there any way I can update the interface's IP apart from doing a full restart of the IPSEC subsystem?

Thank you,

Nick
