Create Connection - Cisco Firepower 4100 Command Reference Manual

A R Commands

create connection

To add a new IPSec connection, use the create connection command. If a connection with the specified name
already exists, the command will fail.
To add or edit an IPSec connection, use the enter connection command. If the specified connection does not
exist, it is created and entered; if the connection exists, it is entered.
You also can use the scope form of this command to enter an existing connection to assign or change properties.
Generally, "scoping into" an object is more convenient than entering it, since the objectʼs name is usually all
that is needed, whereas the enter form of the command often requires entering all its definition parameters.
To delete an existing connection, use the delete form of this command.
create connection name
enter connection name
delete connection name
