IPsec concepts

Internet Security Protocol (IPsec) is a set of open standards that provide cryptographic security services
for IP networks. Several protocols are available for providing authentication and secure transmission of
data.

From Web Tools, you can establish IPsec policies for FCIP implementations on 7800 extension
switches with the upgrade license, the 7500 extension switches and FR4-18i blades, and you can
establish IPsec policies for IP interfaces that provide management access to switches and control
processors.

There are several protocols and algorithms that can be applied. Choosing the protocols and algorithms
you want to use may be a matter of adapting to an implementation that is already in place in your LAN,
or you may need to do a significant amount of research and planning. The supported protocols and
algorithms are defined and described in the RFCs listed in the following table.
