Manually creating an SA

Part of manually creating an security association (SA) is to select an IPsec Protection Type. The
choices are discard, bypass, and protect:

Discard causes data packets to be rejected if there is an invalid pair of source and destination
addresses or invalid port addresses.

Bypass allows a data packet to be transmitted or received without IPsec protection.

Process indicates a data packet is processed using IPsec encryption, IKE authentication, or
both, using encapsulation security protocol (ESP) processing, or authentication header (AH)
protocol processing.

To manually create a SA, perform the following steps.

1. Select the SA(Manual) tab.

2. Select Add.

The Add Manual-SA dialog box displays.

3. Enter a security parameter index number in the SPI (Hexadecimal) field.

The SPI must be manually applied when manually adding an SA.

4. Enter the IP address of the endpoint that sends the SA in the Source IP Address field.

5. Enter the IP address of the endpoint that receives the SA in the Peer IP Address field.

6. Select the protocol used to carry the transmission using the Protocol Name selector.

7. Select the Traffic Flow Direction (in or out).

IPsec policies are unidirectional, and must be applied separately to inbound and outbound
flows.
