4.7 Connection
What is ... A Connection bundles all the parameters required for the PH2 SA negotiation:
Peer
Reference, pointing to the peer configuration to be used. In fact, this refers to
the IKE channel used for the Phase 2 negotiations.
Local/remote range
Range of private IP addresses to which the IPSec policy applies.
Reference to the Network Descriptors or expressed by a dynamic policy.
Connection Security Descriptor
Reference to the Phase 2 Security Descriptor grouping the security
parameters.
The Connection parameters are explained in section 4.7.1 .
How is it used A Connection can be successfully configured from the moment when a Connection
Security Descriptor is present in the SpeedTouch™.
The local and remote private networks can be described either by a valid Network
Descriptor, or by a
keyword present in the SpeedTouch™. When the IPSec policy is
expressed as a static policy, a Network Descriptor describes the local and remote
private networks. As a consequence, some valid Network Descriptors must be
defined prior to the successful definition of a Connection.
When using a dynamic policy, the networks are described by keyword (see section
4.7.1 ).
