Virtual Interfaces; Creating Or Modifying An Ipsec Interface (Vti); Button Bar; Presentation Of The Table - Stormshield SN series Configuration Manual

VIRTUAL INTERFACES

The Virtual interfaces module allows managing, adding or deleting virtual network elements.
Depending on their nature, these virtual interfaces can be used in a dynamic routing
configuration (loopback interfaces), or to set up tunnels (GRE interfaces) or routed tunnels (IPSec
interfaces).
The window for configuring virtual interfaces consists of 3 tabs:
IPSec interfaces (VTI),
l
GRE interfaces,
l
Loopback.

Appendix A: Allowed names.

Creating or modifying an IPSec interface (VTI)

These interfaces make it possible to set up routed IPSec tunnels. The virtual IPSec interface acts
as a traffic endpoint and all packets routed to this interface will then be encrypted. Such
configurations may allow, for example, making QoS traffic pass through a dedicated IPSec tunnel:
high-priority traffic will then take a specific tunnel while other traffic will go through a second
tunnel.
To create or modify a virtual IPSec interface, click on the "IPSec interfaces (VTI)" tab.
