SpeedTouch™ IPSec terminology

2 SpeedTouch™ IPSec terminology

Introduction In order to understand the IPSec configuration of the SpeedTouch™, a number of concepts and definitions are introduced in this section. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) and the Command Line Interface (CLI) provide two alternative methods to configure the IPSec functions. The GUI contains some scenario-driven pages, which means that the configuration pages are grouped according to the intended network application. The advanced GUI pages and the CLI are component-driven, which means that network components are configured independently of each other. It is up to the user to combine the configuration of various components in order to build an operational node in the intended network environment.

The majority of IPSec configurations can be built with the Graphical User Interface. Only in particular situations, it may be required to access some advanced functions via the Command Line Interface. The terminology used in the CLI and GUI is similar. The clarification of the concepts and terms refers to the command structure of the CLI. The IPSec command group comprises a number of underlying command groups, each containing a number of commands in a hierarchical way.
