4.7 Connection

What is ...

A Connection bundles all the parameters required for the PH2 SA negotiation:



Peer
Reference, pointing to the peer configuration to be used. In fact, this refers to
the IKE channel used for the Phase 2 negotiations.



Local/remote range
Range of private IP addresses to which the IPSec policy applies.
Reference to the Network Descriptors or expressed by a dynamic policy.



Connection Security Descriptor
Reference to the Phase 2 Security Descriptor grouping the security
parameters.

The Connection parameters are explained in section

4.7.1

.

How is it used

A Connection can be successfully configured from the moment when a Connection
Security Descriptor
is present in the SpeedTouch™.

The local and remote private networks can be described either by a valid Network
Descriptor,
or by a

keyword

present in the SpeedTouch™. When the IPSec policy is

expressed as a

static

policy, a Network Descriptor describes the local and remote

private networks. As a consequence, some valid Network Descriptors must be
defined prior to the successful definition of a Connection.

When using a

dynamic

policy, the networks are described by

keyword

(see section

4.7.1

).
