.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The virtual console daemon, \fBcvcd\fR, is a server process that supports the
network console provided on some platforms. The \fBcvcd\fR 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
\fBcvc\fR(7D) by way of \fBcvcredir\fR(7D).
.sp
.LP
Similarly, console output is read from \fBcvcredir\fR(7D) and forwarded across
the network console connection. If \fBcvcd\fR dies, console traffic is
automatically rerouted through an internal hardware interface.
.sp
.LP
The \fBcvcd\fR daemon normally starts at system boot time. Each domain supports
only one \fBcvcd\fR process at a time.
.LP
Caution -
.sp
.RS 2
On Sun Enterprise 10000 domains, \fBcvcd\fR uses a configuration file
(\fB/etc/ssphostname\fR) to determine the name of the host from which network
console connections are allowed. If the remote console host is renamed, you
must edit the configuration file to reflect that change.

The \fBcvcd\fR daemon supports per-socket IP Security Architecture (IPsec)
through the options described below. See \fBipsec\fR(7P).

.SH OPERANDS
.sp
.LP
The following operands are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIplatform_name\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
The official Sun platform name used in packaging and code. For example, for Sun
Fire 15K servers, the \fIplatform_name\fR would be \fBSUNW,Sun-Fire-15000\fR.

.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
\fBExample 1 \fRSetting an IPSec Option
.sp
.LP
The command below sets the value of the IPsec Authentication Header algorithm
to \fBmd5\fR. As a result of this command, \fBcvcd\fR will use the HMAC-MD5
authentication algorithm.
