Configuring HP-UX IPSec

Step 2: Configuring Tunnel IPSec Policies

ESP transforms without authentication (such as ESP-AES128) do not provide data integrity and should not be used.

Default: The transform defined for the action parameter in the TunnelPolicy-Defaults section of the profile file used. The default action is ESP_AES128_HMAC_SHA1.

lifetime_seconds

The lifetime_seconds is the maximum lifetime for the IPSec SA, in seconds. A transform lifetime can be specified by time (seconds), and by kilobytes transmitted or received. HP-UX IPSec considers the lifetime to be exceeded if either value is exceeded.

Range: 0 (infinite), or 600 - 4294967294 seconds (approximately 497102 days).

Default: 28,800 (8 hours).

lifetime_kbytes

The lifetime_kbytes is the maximum lifetime for the IPSec SA, measured by kilobytes transmitted or received. A transform lifetime can be specified by time (seconds), and by kilobytes transmitted or received. HP-UX IPSec considers the lifetime to be exceeded if either value is exceeded.

Range: 0 (infinite), or 5120 - 4294967294 kilobytes.

Default: 0 (infinite).

HP recommends that you do not specify an infinite value for lifetime_seconds (0) with a finite value for lifetime_kbytes.

Tunnel IPSec Policy Configuration Example

The local system (10.1.1.1) is using a host-to-host tunnel with system

10.2.2.2.The following batch file entry configures the tunnel to use authenticated ESP, with AES128 encryption and HMAC SHA-1 authentication.
