crypto-auto-ipsec-tunnel commands

crypto

Creates an auto IPSec VPN tunnel and changes the mode to auto-ipsec-secure mode for further configuration

Auto IPSec tunneling provides a secure tunnel between two networked peer controllers or service platforms and associated access points that are within a range of valid IP addresses. You can define which packets are sent within the tunnel, and how they are protected. When a tunneled peer sees a sensitive packet, it creates a secure tunnel and sends the packet through the tunnel to its remote peer destination or associated access point.

Tunnels are sets of SA between two peers. SAs define the protocols and algorithms applied to sensitive packets and specify the keying mechanisms used by tunneled peers. SAs are unidirectional and exist in both the inbound and outbound direction. SAs are established per the rules and conditions of defined security protocols (AH or ESP).

The IKE protocol is a key management protocol used in conjunction with IPSec. IKE enhances IPSec by providing additional features, flexibility, and configuration simplicity for the IPSec standard. IKE enables secure communications without time consuming manual pre-configuration for auto IPSec tunneling.
