[strongSwan] Strongswan[5.4.0] unix:///var/run/charon.vici

[rajeev nohria]

Andreas,

I can ping6   fe80::20c:29ff:fe9d:7d88 and when I tried to establish Ipsec
connection using charon-cmd, I get following error. Do I need to setup
anything to following to work?

ubuntu:/var/log$ sudo charon-cmd --host fe80::20c:29ff:fe9d:7d88 --identity
fe80::20c:29ff:fe32:ba9c
