Using EncrypTight Distributed Key Policies

After you have configured the ETEPs for network operation, use the Policy Manager (ETPM) to create and deploy distributed key policies.

ETPM can create Layer 2 mesh policies and the following types of Layer 3 policies:

●Mesh

●Hub and spoke

●Multicast

●Point-to-point

To launch ETPM from ETEMS:

1Do one of the following from any EncrypTight perspective:

●In the Window menu, click Open. Click Other. In the Open Perspective window, select ETPM and click OK.

●On the Perspective tab in the upper right corner of the screen, click the Open Perspective button . Click Other. In the Open Perspective window, select ETPM and click OK.

Creating Layer 2 Point-to-Point Policies

Layer 2 point-to-point policies are created using the policy editor in the ETEMS Policy tab. The following settings are prerequisites for using this feature:

1On the Features tab, set the Encryption Policy Setting to Layer 2:Ethernet.

2On the Features tab, clear the Enable EncrypTight checkbox.

On the Policy tab, just a few settings are needed to configure the ETEP to encrypt traffic. The policies on the two ETEPs must use the identical preshared key and group ID, and be assigned. opposite roles (primary and secondary). As with any other appliance configuration setting, you have to push the policy to the ETEPs for it to take effect.
