cvcd(1M)		System Administration Commands		      cvcd(1M)

NAME
       cvcd - virtual console daemon

SYNOPSIS
       /platform/platform_name/cvcd [-a auth] [-e encr]
	    [-u esp_auth]

DESCRIPTION
       The virtual console daemon, cvcd, is a server process that supports the
       network console provided on some platforms.  The	 cvcd  daemon  accepts
       network	console	 connections  from a remote host (only one host at any
       given time). Console input is read from this connection	and  forwarded
       to cvc(7D) by way of cvcredir(7D).

       Similarly,  console  output  is	read  from  cvcredir(7D) and forwarded
       across the network console connection. If cvcd dies, console traffic is
       automatically rerouted through an internal hardware interface.

       The  cvcd  daemon normally starts at system boot time. Each domain sup‐
       ports only one cvcd process at a time.

       Caution -

	 On Sun Enterprise 10000  domains,  cvcd  uses	a  configuration  file
	 (/etc/ssphostname)  to determine the name of the host from which net‐
	 work console connections are allowed. If the remote console  host  is
	 renamed, you must edit the configuration file to reflect that change.

       The  cvcd  daemon  supports per-socket IP Security Architecture (IPsec)
       through the options described below. See ipsec(7P).

OPTIONS
       The cvcd daemon supports the options listed below.

       -a auth	      Controls the IPsec Authentication Header (AH) algorithm.
		      auth can be one of none, md5, or sha1.

       -e encr	      Controls	the IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
		      encryption algorithm. encr can be one of none,  des,  or
		      3des.

       -u esp_auth    Controls	the IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
		      authentication algorithm. esp_auth can be one  of	 none,
		      md5, or sha1.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       platform_name	The  official  Sun platform name used in packaging and
			code. For example, for Sun Fire 15K servers, the plat‐
			form_name would be SUNW,Sun-Fire-15000.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Setting an IPSec Option

       The  command  below  sets  the value of the IPsec Authentication Header
       algorithm to md5. As a result of this command, cvcd will use the	 HMAC-
       MD5 authentication algorithm.

	 # svccfg -s svc:/system/cvc setprop cvc/ah_auth = "md5"
	 # svccfg -s svc:/system/cvc setprop cvc/esp_encr = "none"
	 # svccfg -s svc:/system/cvc setprop cvc/esp_auth = "none"
	 # svcadm refresh svc:/system/cvc

NOTES
       The cvcd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5),
       under the fault management resource identifier (FMRI):

	 svc:/system/cvc

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or
       requesting restart, can be performed using  svcadm(1M)  or  svccfg(1M).
       The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
