Deleting an IPsec policy

To delete an IPsec policy:

1.

On the Adapter & Switch Management menu, click Set Switch IPsec Information. (If you have more than

one switch in your SAN, the Switch Selection dialog box prompts you to select a switch, and then click

OK.)
The IPsec Configuration dialog box opens (see

Figure 41

on page 69) and lists the existing IPsec

Associations on the left and the existing IPsec Policies on the right.

2.

Under IPsec Policies, select the policy that you want to remove, and then click Delete.

3.

When you are through managing security policies, select one of the following options:
• To save your changes and close the IPsec Configuration dialog box, click OK.
• To close the IPsec Configuration dialog box without saving any changes, click Cancel.

CAUTION:

Be aware that if you click Cancel on the IPsec Configuration dialog box, all changes you have

made to IPsec associations and policies are revoked. That is, all associations and policies that you have

created, edited, deleted, copied, or pasted while the IPsec Configuration dialog box was open are

nullified.

Copying and pasting IPsec polices

To simplify the process of creating IPsec policies, you can copy an existing policy, paste it, modify it as

needed, and then save it under a new name. For example, if you use the same protocols and keys for all

IPsec policies, you can configure one complete policy, and then copy it to create additional policies with

different source or destination addresses.
To copy and paste an IPsec policy:

1.

On the Adapter & Switch Management menu, click Set Switch IPsec Information. (If you have more than

one switch in your SAN, the Switch Selection dialog box prompts you to select a switch, and then click

OK.)
The IPsec Configuration dialog box opens (see

Figure 41

on page 69) and lists the existing IPsec

Associations on the left and the existing IPsec Policies on the right.

2.

Under IPsec Policies, select the policy that you want to copy, and then click Copy.

3.

Under IPsec Policies, click Paste.
SAN Connection Manager lists the new policy under IPsec Policies. It appends the string “_Copy_0” to

the original name; for example, a copy of MyPolicyName becomes MyPolicyName_Copy_0. If a

policy already exists with that name, it appends the string _Copy_1, and so on.

4.

To modify the copy, select it, and then click Edit to open the IPsec Policy dialog box (

Figure 42

on

page 70).

5.

Make changes as needed, and, optionally, save the copy with a new policy name.

6.

When you are through managing security policies, select one of the following options:
• To save your changes and close the IPsec Configuration dialog box, click OK.
• To close the IPsec Configuration dialog box without saving any changes, click Cancel.

CAUTION:

Be aware that if you click Cancel on the IPsec Configuration dialog box, all changes you have

made to IPsec associations and policies are revoked. That is, all associations and policies that you have

created, edited, deleted, copied, or pasted while the IPsec Configuration dialog box was open are

nullified.
