Configuring the Protocol

IPSec uses two protocols to protect IP traffic: Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) and authentication header (AH). The AH protocol is used for strong authentication. A third option, bundle, uses AH authentication and ESP encryption; it does not use ESP authentication because AH provides stronger authentication of IP packets.

To configure the IPSec protocol, include the protocol statement and specify the ah, esp, or bundle option at the [edit services ipsec-vpn rule rule-name term term-name then manual direction direction] hierarchy level:




protocol (ah | bundle | esp);
