ipsec down connection [--ctlsocket /run/pluto/pluto​.ctl]

ipsec down commands pluto to tear down all connections matching specified connection in internal configuration database​. This connection definitions in place so remotes can immediately connect back​. If you want tunnel to go permanently down, use ipsec delete instead​.

Normally, pluto's route to a destination remains in place when an ipsec down is used to take the connection down (or if connection setup, or later automatic rekeying, fails)​. This permits establishing a new connection (perhaps using a different specification; the route is altered as necessary) without having a “window” in which packets might go elsewhere based on a more general route​. Such a route can be removed using the ipsec unroute operation (and is implicitly removed by ipsec delete)​.
