16 Policy Design Examples

This section provides two examples of creating policies with EncrypTight:

●Basic Layer 2 Point-to-Point Policy Example

●Layer 2 Ethernet Policy Using VLAN IDs

●Complex Layer 3 Policy Example

Basic Layer 2 Point-to-Point Policy Example

In this example, we secure a single point-to-point Layer 2 Ethernet link using only the ETEMS software and two encryption appliances. This example focuses on the required settings and does not discuss advanced and optional settings.

Figure 82 Point-to-point Layer 2 Ethernet link

The requirement for this policy is to encrypt all traffic between the two points.
