Copying and pasting IPsec polices
To simplify the process of creating IPsec policies, you can copy an existing policy, paste it, modify it as
needed, and then save it under a new name. For example, if you use the same protocols and keys for all
IPsec policies, you can configure one complete policy, and then copy it to create additional policies with
different source or destination addresses.
To copy and paste an IPsec policy:
1.
On the HBA & 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 (see
on page 70) and lists the existing IPsec
Associations on the left and the existing IPsec Policies on the right.
2.
Under IPsec Policies, select the policy that you want to copy, and then click Copy.
3.
Under IPsec Policies, click Paste.
Simple SAN Connection Manager lists the new policy under IPsec Policies. It appends the string
“_Copy_0” to the original name; for example, a copy of MyPolicyName becomes
MyPolicyName_Copy_0. If a policy already exists with that name, it appends the string “_Copy_1”,
and so on.
4.
To modify the copy, select it, and then click Edit to open the IPsec Policy dialog box (
5.
Make changes as needed, and, optionally, save the copy with a new policy name.
6.
When you are through managing security policies, select one of the following options:
• To save your changes and close the IPsec Configuration dialog box, click OK.
• To close the IPsec Configuration dialog box without saving any changes, click Cancel.
CAUTION:
Be aware that if you click Cancel on the IPsec Configuration dialog box, all changes you have
made to IPsec associations and policies are revoked. That is, all associations and policies that you have
created, edited, deleted, copied, or pasted while the IPsec Configuration dialog box was open are
nullified.
