64 Managing Switches
SAN Connection Manager provides the IPsec Configuration dialog box to help you configure IPsec, which
is used to encrypt and authenticate IPv4 and IPv6 packets. Use the IPsec Configuration dialog box to
create, edit, delete, copy, and paste IPsec associations (see “Managing security associations,” page 64)
and IPsec policies (see “Managing security policies,” page 68).
Managing security associations
A security association defines the encryption algorithm and encryption key to apply when called by a
security policy. A security policy may call several associations at different times, but each association is
related to only one policy. The SAD is the set of all security associations.
This section provides the following procedures for managing IPsec associations:
• “Creating an IPsec association,” page 64
• “Editing an IPsec association,” page 67
• “Deleting an IPsec association,” page 67
• “Copying and pasting IPsec associations,” page 67
Creating an IPsec association
To create an IPsec association:
1. On the Adapter & Switch Management menu, click Set Switch IPsec Information. (If you have more than
one switch in your SAN, the Switch Selection dialog box prompts you to select a switch, and then click
OK.)
The IPsec Configuration dialog box opens (
Figure 39 ) and lists the existing IPsec Associations on the left
and the existing IPsec Policies on the right.
