SafeHarbour IPSec Settings

SafeHarbour VPN is a tunnel between the local network and another geographically dis-
persed network that is interconnected over the Internet. This VPN tunnel provides a
secure, cost-effective alternative to dedicated leased lines. Internet Protocol Security
(IPsec) is a series of ser vices including encr yption, authentication, integrity, and replay pro-
tection. Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is the key management protocol of IPsec that estab-
lishes keys for encr yption and decr yption. Because this VPN software implementation is
built to these standards, the other side of the tunnel can be either another Netopia unit or
another IPsec/IKE based security product. For VPN you can choose to have traffic authenti-
cated, encr ypted, or both.

When connecting the Netopia unit in a telecommuting scenario, the corporate VPN settings
will dictate the settings to be used in the Netopia unit. If a parameter has not been speci-
fied from the other end of the tunnel, choose the default unless you fully understand the
ramifications of your parameter choice.

set security ipsec option (off) {on | off}

Turns on the SafeHarbour IPsec tunnel capability. Default is off. See

“IPSec” on page 130

for more information.

set security ipsec tunnels name "123"
