The following illustrates the print server behavior depending on whether the default rule is set to Allow or Drop (default).
IPsec Policy Configuration Example: IPsec is enabled on the print server with the following rule:
●All IPv4 Addresses
●All Jetdirect Print Services
●A simple IPsec template for these addresses and services is configured. If the Default Rule is set to Allow, then:
●An IP packet that is not
●An IP packet that is not
If the Default Rule is set to Drop, then:
●An IP packet that is not
●An IPsec packet with IPv4 address directed to printing port 9100 is allowed and processed because it matches the rule.
●A
IPsec security associations (SA)
If a packet is
An IPsec SA is unidirectional. A host can have an inbound SA and an outbound SA associated with particular IP packet protocols and services, and the IPsec protocol used to protect them.
When properly configured, the IPsec rules define the security associations for IP traffic to and from the HP Jetdirect print server and can ensure all traffic is secure.
