4. Use the controls to complete the configuration, as described in the following table.

 

 

 

Control

 

Description

 

 

 

General

 

Check one or more of the following options:

 

 

Enable Authentication and Encryption. Specify this option to enable authentication

 

 

between appliances.

 

 

Enable Perfect Forward Secrecy. Specify this option if you want to provide

 

 

additional security by renegotiating keys at specified intervals. Perfect Forward

 

 

Secrecy provides additional security by renegotiating keys at specified intervals. If one

 

 

key is compromised, subsequent keys are secure because they are not derived from

 

 

previous keys.

 

 

 

 

 

Encryption Policy. Select one of the following methods from the Method 1 drop-down

 

 

list:

 

 

DES. Data Encryption Standard. DES is the default value.

 

 

NULL. Specifies the null encryption algorithm.

 

 

Set encryption algorithms in order of priority. The algorithm is used to encrypt each

 

 

packet sent using IPsec.

 

 

Optionally, select DES, NULL, or None from the Method 2 drop-down list.

 

 

 

 

 

Authentication Policy. Select one of the following authentication methods from the

 

 

Method One drop-own list:

 

 

MD5. Message-Digest algorithm. MD5 is a widely-used cryptographic hash function

 

 

with a 128-bit hash value. MD5 is the default value.

 

 

SHA-1. Secure Hash Algorithm. SHA-1is a set of related cryptographic hash

 

 

functions. SHA-1is considered to be the successor to MD5.

 

 

Optionally, select MD5, SHA-1, or None from the Method Two drop-down list.

 

 

 

 

 

Time Between Key Renegotiations. Specify the number of minutes between quick-

 

 

mode renegotiation of keys using Internet Key Exchange (IKE). IKE uses public key

 

 

cryptography to provide the secure transmission of a secret key to a recipient so that the

 

 

encrypted data can be decrypted at the other end. The default value is 240 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

Enter the Shared Secret/Confirm the Shared Secret. Specify the shared secret. All the

 

 

HP EFS WAN Accelerators in a network for which you want to use IPsec must have the

 

 

same shared secret.

 

 

 

 

 

Apply. Click Apply to apply your settings to the running configuration.

 

 

 

Add New Peer

 

Peer IP. Specify the IP address for the peer HP EFS WAN Accelerator for which you

 

 

want to make a secure connection.

 

 

 

 

 

Add Peer. Click Add Peer to add the peer specified in the Peer IP text box.

 

 

If IPsec is enabled on this HP EFS WAN Accelerator, then it must also be enabled on all

 

 

appliances in the IP security peers list; otherwise this HP EFS WAN Accelerator will not

 

 

be able to make optimized connections with those peers.

 

 

If a connection has not been established between the two HP EFS WAN Accelerators that

 

 

are configured to use IPsec security, the Peers list does not display the peer HP EFS WAN

 

 

Accelerator because a security association has not been established.

 

 

 

 

 

Remove Selected Peers. To remove an entry, click the check box next to the name and

 

 

click Remove Selected Peers.

 

 

 

5. Click Save to save your settings permanently or click Reset to return the settings

 

 

to their previous values.
