Preface

This guide describes the Nortel Networks

*

implementation of IP Security (IPsec)

and how to configure it on a Nortel Networks router.

Before You Begin

Before using this guide, you must complete the following procedures. For a new

router:

• Install the router (see the installation guide that came with your router).

• Connect the router to the network and create a pilot configuration file (see

Quick-Starting Routers, Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport

ARN Routers, or Connecting ASN Routers to a Network).

Make sure that you are running the latest version of Nortel Networks BayRS and

Site Manager software. For information about upgrading BayRS and Site

Manager, see the upgrading guide for your version of BayRS.

Text Conventions

This guide uses the following text conventions:

angle brackets (< >) Indicate that you choose the text to enter based on the

description inside the brackets. Do not type the

brackets when entering the command.

Example: If the command syntax is:

ping

<ip_address>

, you enter:

ping

192.32.10.12

bold text

Indicates command names and options and text that

you need to enter.

Example: Enter

show ip

{

alerts

|

routes

}.

Example: Use the

dinfo

command.

braces ({}) Indicate required elements in syntax descriptions

where there is more than one option. You must choose

only one of the options. Do not type the braces when

entering the command.

Example: If the command syntax is:

show ip

{

alerts

|

routes

}

, you must enter either:

show ip alerts

or

show ip routes

, but not both.

brackets ([ ]) Indicate optional elements in syntax descriptions. Do

not type the brackets when entering the command.

Example: If the command syntax is:

show ip interfaces

[

-alerts

]

, you can enter either:

show ip interfaces

or

show ip interfaces -alerts

.

italic text Indicates new terms, book titles, and variables in

command syntax descriptions. Where a variable is two

or more words, the words are connected by an

underscore.

Example: If the command syntax is:

show at

<valid_route>

valid_route

is one variable and you substitute one value

for it.

screen text Indicates system output, for example, prompts and

system messages.

Example:

separator ( > ) Shows menu paths.

Example: Protocols > IP identifies the IP option on the

Protocols menu.

vertical line (

Overview of IPsec

This chapter describes the emerging Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

standards for security services over public networks, commonly referred to as IP

Security or IPsec. The chapter also includes information specific to the Nortel

Networks implementation of IPsec and requirements for that implementation.

About IPsec

IP Security is the IETF set of emerging standards for security services for

communications over public networks. The standards are documented in the IETF

Requests for Comments (RFCs) 2401 through 2412. Additional RFCs may be

relevant as well.

These standards were developed to ensure secure, private communications for the

remote access, extranet, and intranet virtual private networks (VPNs) used in

enterprise communications. They are the security architecture for the next

generation of IP, called IPv6, but are available for the current IPv4 Internet as

well.

The Nortel Networks implementation of the IETF standards provides network

(layer 3) security services for Ethernet and wide area network (WAN)

communications on Nortel Networks routers.

Configuring IPsec and NAT on One Interface

You can configure both IPsec and unidirectional Network Address Translation

(NAT) on the same router interface. However, the address ranges that you

configure for NAT and in IPsec policy filters cannot overlap.

You configure IPsec using Site Manager. You can configure NAT using either the

BCC or Site Manager. When you configure IPsec and NAT on the same router

interface, IPsec

and NAT

operate independently and do not pass traffic to each

other.

When you configure both IPsec and NAT on the same router interface, NAT takes

precedence over IPsec. For example, if the destination address of an incoming IP

packet does not match any configured NAT public address, then the packet is

processed by IPsec. If the IP packet contains an address that falls within the

configured range of an IPsec policy, then the packet is either protected, bypassed,

or dropped. A packet with a source address not within any IPsec policy range will

be dropped.

Note:

Router interfaces configured for bidirectional NAT do not support

IPsec.
