Example

For example, Table 3-33 lists the choices that the PCU network administrators have made, based on each factor. For them, security is the most important factor. In the end, they select the IPsec with IKE and digital certificates for authentication. They create a preferred security policy that calls for the strongest encryption and hash algorithms. However, they will create another policy that allows different algorithms to ensure that all endpoints can con- nect. Finally, for the gateway, they purchase the IPsec VPN Module for their ProCurve Secure Router 7203dl, and, for the client, they purchase an unlimited user licence for the ProCurve VPN Client.
