Enabling
Encryption
You configure IP Security Protocol (IPsec) encryption to allow data to be
communicated securely between peer appliances in the Advanced Networking -
Encryption page.
Enabling IPsec encryption makes it difficult for a third party to view your data or pose
as a machine you expect to receive data from. To enable IPsec, you must specify at
least one encryption and authentication algorithm. Only optimized data is protected,
pass-through traffic is not.
Enabling IPsec support is optional.
IMPORTANT: You must set IPsec support on each peer HP EFS WAN Accelerator in your
network for which you want to establish a secure connection. You must also specify a shared
secret on each peer appliance.
