    0ALJ-0A5 Configuring IPSec Settings Internet Protocol Security (IPSec or IPsec) is a protocol suite for encrypting data transported over a network, including Internet networks. While SSL only encrypts data used on a specific application, such as a Web browser or an e-mail application, IPSec encrypts either whole IP packets or the payloads of IP packets, offering a more versatile security system.
  • Page 435 Configuring IPSec Settings Before using IPSec for encrypted communication, you need to register security policies (SP). A security policy consists of the groups of settings described below. Up to 10 policies can be registered. After registering policies, specify the order in which they are applied. Selector Selector defines conditions for IP packets to apply IPSec communication.
