The heading of this section indicates the default rule for IPsec traffic (Def: Pass or Drop)

Pass Allow all non-IPsec traffic.

Drop Drop all non-IPsec traffic.

For each rule configured, the names of the IP address template, service template, and IPsec template that define the rule are displayed. For more information, see IPsec/Firewall configuration (V.40.xx) on page 105.

IPsec Security Associations (SA) table

The IPsec SA Table lists the security associations of cached IPsec sessions between two hosts. For active sessions, all detected security associations are listed in the table. If required, multiple pages print.

An SA table entry pair number. Up to eight entries are displayed.

 

 

Protocol

Protocol used by the hosts: TCP, UDP, ICMP, IGMPv2

 

 

SRC

IP address of the host that initiates the IPsec traffic.

 

 

DST

IP address of the host that receives the IPsec traffic.

Available Network Services

This section lists the well-known ports of HP Jetdirect services being accessed. A remote port is associated with a remote client application. A local port identifies a service and port number on the HP Jetdirect print server. A port is either secure or not secure, depending on the IPsec policy configuration.

For example, for LPD printing enabled with an IPsec rule, a local TCP, secure, port 515 might be listed. Port 515 is a well-known port for LPD services. If the print server is connected to a remote application's port 25, it might list remote TCP, unsecure, port 25 of the client.
