Number (ESN) feature.

Configuring a manual IPsec policy

In a manual IPsec policy, the parameters are configured manually, such as the keys, the SPIs, and
the IP addresses of the two ends in tunnel mode.
Configuration restrictions and guidelines
When you configure a manual IPsec policy, make sure the IPsec configuration at both ends of the
IPsec tunnel meets the following requirements:
•
The IPsec policies at the two ends must have IPsec transform sets that use the same security
protocols, security algorithms, and encapsulation mode.
•
The remote IPv4 address configured on the local end must be the same as the primary IPv4
address of the interface applied with the IPsec policy at the remote end. The remote IPv6
address configured on the local end must be the same as the first IPv6 address of the interface
applied with the IPsec policy at the remote end.
•
At each end, configure parameters for both the inbound SA and the outbound SA, and make
sure the SAs in each direction are unique: For an outbound SA, make sure its triplet (remote IP
address, security protocol, and SPI) is unique. For an inbound SA, make sure its SPI is unique.
•
The local inbound SA must use the same SPI and keys as the remote outbound SA. The same
is true of the local outbound SA and remote inbound SA.
•
The keys for the local and remote inbound and outbound SAs must be in the same format. For
example, if the local inbound SA uses a key in characters, the local outbound SA and remote
inbound and outbound SAs must use keys in characters.
Configuration procedure
To configure a manual IPsec policy:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a manual IPsec
policy entry and enter
its view.
Command
•
In non-FIPS mode:
pfs { dh-group1 | dh-group2 |
dh-group5 | dh-group14 |
dh-group24 | dh-group19 |
dh-group20 }
•
In FIPS mode:
pfs { dh-group14 | dh-group24 |
dh-group19 | dh-group20 }
esn enable [ both ]

Remarks
By default, the PFS feature is not
used for SA negotiation.
For more information about PFS,
see "Configuring IKE."
The security level of the
Diffie-Hellman (DH) group of the
initiator must be higher than or
equal to that of the responder.
The end without the PFS feature
performs SA negotiation
according to the PFS
requirements of the peer end.
The DH groups 19 and 20 are
available only for IKEv2.
By default, the ESN feature is
disabled.
Remarks
N/A
By default, no IPsec policy exists.
