Configuring Ipsec Anti-Replay Redundancy; Binding A Source Interface To An Ipsec Policy - HP FlexFabric 5700 Series Security Configuration Manual

Configuring IPsec anti-replay redundancy

This feature synchronizes the following information from the master device to all subordinate devices in
an IRF fabric at configurable packet-based intervals:
• Lower bound values of the IPsec anti-replay window for inbound packets.
IPsec anti-replay sequence numbers for outbound packets.
•
This feature, used together with IPsec redundancy, ensures uninterrupted IPsec traffic forwarding and
anti-replay protection when the master device in an IRF fabric fails.
To configure IPsec anti-replay redundancy:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable IPsec redundancy.
3. Enter IPsec policy view or
IPsec policy template view.
4. Set the anti-replay window
synchronization interval for
inbound packets and the
sequence number
synchronization interval for
outbound packets.

Binding a source interface to an IPsec policy

For high availability, a core device is usually connected to an ISP through two links, which operate in
backup or load sharing mode. The two interfaces negotiate with their peers to establish IPsec SAs
respectively. When one interface fails and a link failover occurs, the other interface needs to take some
time to renegotiate SAs, resulting in service interruption.
To solve these problems, bind a source interface to an IPsec policy and apply the policy to both interfaces.
This enables the two physical interfaces to use the same source interface to negotiate IPsec SAs. As long
as the source interface is up, the negotiated IPsec SAs will not be removed and will keep working,
regardless of link failover.
Follow these guidelines when you perform this task:
Only the IKE-based IPsec policies can be bound to a source interface.
•
An IPsec policy can be bound to only one source interface.
•
A source interface can be bound to multiple IPsec policies.

Remarks
N/A
By default, IPsec redundancy is
disabled.
N/A
By default, the master device
synchronizes the anti-replay
window every time it receives
1000 packets and the sequence
number every time it sends
100000 packets.
