Encryption Policy Settings

The Encryption Policy Setting determines the type of policies that the ETEP can be used in: Layer 2 Ethernet policies or Layer 3 IP policies. Appliances that are configured for Layer 2 cannot be used in Layer 3 policies, and vice versa. If you intend to create a Layer 4 policy to encrypt only the packet payload, set the Encryption Policy Setting to Layer 3:IP.

Table 106 Encryption policy settings

Setting

Definition

Layer 2: Ethernet

Enable this setting to use the ETEP in Layer 2 Ethernet policies. Point-

 

to-point policies are defined in ETEMS; mesh policies are defined in

 

EncrypTight ETPM.

Layer 3: IP

Enable this setting to use the ETEP in Layer 3 IP policies, or if you

 

intend to create a policy to encrypt only the Layer 4 payload.

 

Layer 3 distributed key policies are defined in EncrypTight ETPM.

 

 

When you change the encryption policy setting of an in-service ETEP, all encrypt and drop policies currently installed on the ETEP are removed and all traffic is sent in the clear until you create and deploy new policies, or until the policies are rekeyed. A rekey installs an “encrypt all” policy on the ETEP.

If you are using EncrypTight, take the following steps to ensure proper enforcement of your distributed key polices when you change the encryption policy setting:

1In the ETEMS Features tab, change the Encryption Policy Setting to Layer 2 or Layer 3.

2Push the new configuration to the ETEP (Tools > Put Configuration).

3In ETPM, delete the policy that contains the original ETEP configuration.

4Create a new policy for the reconfigured ETEP.

5Deploy the new policy.

Working with Policies

ETEMS’s primary function is configuring and managing appliances from a central workstation. After you have configured the ETEPs for network operation, you have the following options for creating and deploying policies:

●EncrypTight distributed key policies (mesh, hub and spoke, multicast, Layer 3 point-to-point) are created and managed using ETPM.

●Layer 2 point-to-point policies are created using the policy editor in the ETEMS Policy tab.
