IPSec over management ports
IPSec can be applied to the management port on a switch or a CP blade to establish a secure
connection between a PC or workstation and Web Tools. The connection can be used as a virtual
private network (VPN) interface to Web Tools.
At a high level, the steps to take are as follows:
• Access the Ethernet IPSec Policies dialog box.
• Enable IPSec.
• Create an IKE policy for authentication.
• Create an security association (SA).
• Create an SA proposal.
• Add a IPSec Transform policy, referencing the IKE policy and the SA proposal.
• Add an IPSec selector that allows you to apply a Transform policy to a specific IP flow.
Accessing the Ethernet IPSec Policies dialog box
1. Open the Switch Administration window.
2. Select Show Advanced Mode.
3. Select the Security Policies tab.
4. Under Security Policies, select Ethernet IPSec.
The Ethernet IPSec Policies screen is displayed (Figure 123).
