Connect vpn IPsec via command line

[lindel]

I'm using de forti client  to connecto to a IPsec vpn site, there is any way to do this via command line because I will use this via jenkins to connect previous doing some stuff and then disconnect. Can't find any documentation or post with this information.

Hi Anthony thanks for the reply but no, that's not what I want, i'm looking for something similar to the documents about connecting to a ssh vpn from command line for an ipsec vpn, in some forum threads use ipsec -k -b <connection name> but in my case this command only clears the vpn information for this connection and no connection to <connection name> is establish

Hello lindel,

sorry for the late reply.

One of our engineer replied:

"This option is available only for the SSL-VPN. We do not support it for the dialup ipsec."

I hope it would help you!
