make provision for NAT to be used with tunneling. We will use this example for the configuration

on the pages that follow.

The setup for an IPSec connection is done in the IP security set-up menu under Configuration -

Packet Services. IP Security may be disabled to check the link connections before the secure

connection is set-up.

Be sure to toggle IP Security back to enabled when IPSec is configured.

Each data packet that goes through an IPSec router will be tested against one or more sets

of rules concerning the source IP Address of the packet, the destination IP Address of the

packet, the IP protocol (TCP, UDP, etc.) associated with the packet, the source port from

which the packet originated and destination port to which it is going. An action determined

by the outcome of the test is then performed on the packet (such as IPSec processing,

discard, etc.).

The first step in setting up IPSec is to define the local address that the router will use for the

local end of the tunnel (SA)

! Local IP address

199.22.33.01

The Local IP Address must be an IP address for this router on the public

network. It should not be a dynamically assigned address. In this case Router 1’s

address will be the numbered WAN link

199.22.33.01

. If this connection had

been set-up as an unnumbered link, then the local IP would be set as “LAN’ or

the router’s IP address. Note that in the case of unnumbered links, the LANs

would require registered IP addresses to operate over the Internet.

The policy is applied at the WAN link (the outbound IPSec interface), this must be specified
