Configuring HP-UX IPSec

Step 1: Configuring Host IPSec Policies

CAUTION

 

HP recommends that you do not specify an infinite value for

 

 

lifetime_seconds (0) with a finite value for lifetime_kbytes.

 

 

-flags flags

 

 

 

 

 

 

The flags are additional options for this policy. Join multiple flags with

 

 

a plus sign (+).

Flag

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

EXCLUSIVE

Specifies session-based keying. Session-based

 

 

 

keying uses a different pair of IPSec/QM SAs per

 

 

 

connection or session. Only packets with the same

 

 

 

source IP address, destination IP address, network

 

 

 

protocol, source port, and destination port will use

 

 

 

the same IPSec/QM SA. Session-based keying

 

 

 

incurs more overhead but provides more security

 

 

 

and privacy. If you do not specify session-based

 

 

 

keying, all packets using the same IPSec policy to

 

 

 

the same remote node will share the same

 

 

 

IPSec/QM SA pair and cryptography keys.

 

 

 

You cannot specify the EXCLUSIVE flag if you are

 

 

 

using manual keys, or the action is PASS or

 

 

 

DISCARD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MIPV6

Specifies that this IPSec policy is used for Mobile

 

 

 

IPv6 packets. HP-UX IPSec checks the Mobile IPv6

 

 

 

binding cache for routing information. (This flag

 

 

 

does not specify or affect any protocol specification

 

 

 

for the source or destination address filter used

 

 

 

when selecting the IPSec policy for a packet.)

 

 

 

If you specify the MIPV6 flag, you must use manual

 

 

 

keys (use -inand -outarguments).

 

 

 

You cannot specify the MIPV6 flag with IPv4

 

 

 

addresses in the source and destination arguments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NONE

No flags.
