Thank you Tobia, and Martin. <br><br>It is good to know the identifier is unique. <br><br>I have a couple more related questions?<br><br>Is it possible to have multiple CHILD_SA under the same IKE_SA ? <br><br>Is it possible to have multiple CHILD_SA with different connection <NAME> under the same IKE_SA.<br>
<br>The reason I am asking is that I want to know if it is possible to delete IKE_SA, with CHILD_SA identifier. That is if a CHILD_SA identifier is "n", can I use "ipsec down [n]" to delete the associated IKE_SA?<br>
<br>I appreciate your help in advance.<br><br>Jordan.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 12:18 AM, Martin Willi <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martin@strongswan.org" target="_blank">martin@strongswan.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Yes, they are, except for rekeyings. Each new IKE_SA gets an incremented<br>
unique identifier, but a rekeyed IKE_SA that replaces an old IKE_SA<br>
reuses the identifier of the replaced IKE_SA.<br>

<br>
</div>Yes, but the same about rekeyings applies.<br>
