Figure 6 Layer 2 Point-to-Point Deployment

Use the Policy Manager (ETPM) and Key Management System (ETKMS) to create a Layer 3 point-to- point distributed key policy as one of several policies in a larger, more complex EncrypTight deployment.

The ETEP’s variable speed feature is controlled by the installation of a license. Note that you cannot install a license on the ETEP until you first enter a license for EncrypTight. For more information about licensing, see “Managing Licenses” on page 56.
