HP-UX IPSec and IPFilter

IPSec UDP Negotiation

When TCP traffic is initiated from A to B or from B to A, IPSec on both machines communicates through a UDP/500 connection. You must configure IPFilter on machine A to let this traffic through. To do so, add the following rules to your IPFilter configuration:

pass in quick proto UDP from 15.15.15.15 port = 500 to 10.10.10.10 port = 500

pass out quick proto UDP from 10.10.10.10 port = 500 to

15.15.15.15port = 500

block in proto UDP block out proto UDP

These rules let IPSec traffic pass correctly.

NOTE

You must configure IPFilter to pass traffic both in and out on UDP port

 

500 for IPSec to work properly.
