Description
If ESP is enabled on the IPsec Protocols page, the ESP SPI (Security Parameters
Index) fields are provided. The ESP SPI is a 32-bit field in an ESP header that helps
to identify the IPsec Security Association (SA).
in: Enter a value for an SA used for received packets.
out: Enter a value for an SA used for transmitted packets from the print server.
If AH is enabled on the IPsec Protocols page, the AH Security Parameters Index
(SPI) edit fields are provided. An AH SPI is a 32-bit field in an Authentication header
that helps to identify the IPsec SA.
in: Enter a value for an SA used for received packets.
out: Enter a value for an SA used for transmitted packets from the print server.
CAUTION The use of IPsec AH may not function properly in environments
that use Network Address Translation (NAT).
Choose whether you will use Hexadecimal values or ASCII characters to specify
Encryption or Hash entries.
Enter the Encryption keys for packets received (in) or sent (out) by the print server.
Enter the Hash keys for packets received (in) or sent (out) by the print server. The
Hash keys must be the same for ESP and AH protocols if both are enabled.
