Netopia 6.3 manual Ike

Appendix B

-----I-----
IKE	Internet Key Exchange protocol provides automated key management
	and is a preferred alternative to manual key management as it pro-
	vides better security. Manual key management is practical in a small,
	static environment of two or three sites. Exchanging the key is done
	through manual means. Because IKE provides automated key
	exchange, it is good for larger, more dynamic environments.
INSPECTION	The best option for Internet communications security is to have an
	SMLI firewall constantly inspecting the flow of traffic: determining
	direction, limiting or eliminating inbound access, and verifying down
	to the packet level that the network traffic is only what the customer
	chooses. The Cayman Gateway works like a network super traffic cop,
	inspecting and filtering out undesired traffic based on your security
	policy and resulting configuration.
interface	A connection between two devices or networks.
internet address	IP address. A 32-bit address used to route packets on a TCP/IP net-
	work. In dotted decimal notation, each eight bits of the 32-bit number
	are presented as a decimal number, with the four octets separated by
	periods.
IPCP	Internet Protocol Control Protocol. A network control protocol in PPP
	specifying how IP communications will be configured and operated
	over a PPP link.
IPSEC	A protocol suite defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force to
	protect IP traffic at packet level. It can be used for protecting the data
	transmitted by any service or application that is based on IP, but is
	commonly used for VPNs.
ISAKMP	Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol is a
	framework for creating connection specific parameters. It is a protocol
	for establishing, negotiating, modifying, and deleting SAs and pro-
	vides a framework for authentication and key exchange. ISAKMP is a
	part of the IKE protocol.
ISDN	Integrated Services Digital Network. A digital network with circuit and
	packet switching for voice and data communications at data rates up
	to 1.544 or 2.048 Mbps over telephone networks.
-----K-----
Key Management	The Key Management algorithm manages the exchange of security
	keys in the IPSec protocol architecture. SafeHarbour supports the
	standard Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
-----L-----
LCP	Link Control Protocol. Protocol responsible for negotiating connection
	configuration parameters, authenticating peers on the link, determin-
	ing whether a link is functioning properly, and terminating the link.
	Documented in RFC 1331.
LQM Link Quality	Optional facility that lets PPP make policy decisions based on the
Monitoring	observed quality of the link between peers. Documented in RFC 1333.
loopback test	Diagnostic procedure in which data is sent from a devices's output
	channel and directed back to its input channel so that what was sent
	can be compared to what was received.
