Table 5-1 IPsec Policy page (continued) Item Description IPsec Rules The IPsec policy consists of rules for processing IPsec packets. Up to ten IPsec rules may be configured. Each rule is defined by the following fields: ■ Address Template: Identifies the IP addresses for which the rule applies. You may select among several predefined templates, or specify a custom template. Click on an entry to its view configuration settings. ■ Services Template: Identifies the services for which the rule applies. You may select among several predefined templates, or specify a custom template. Click on an entry to view its configuration settings. CAUTION If all services are not specified, a security risk may exist. Future networking applications that are deployed after the IPsec Policy is in place may not be IPsec-protected unless the All Services template is used. ■ IPsec Template: Identifies the IPsec template for which the rule applies. A custom template must be specified as required for your network. Click on an entry to view configuration settings. ■ Delete: Each rule contains a button to delete the rule from the list. Add Rule The rules are configured through an IPsec wizard, which is run when you press Add Rule. If a packet is IPsec-protected, there must be an IPsec Security Association (SA) for it. A Security Association defines how an IP packet from one host to another is IPsec-protected. Among many things, it defines the IPsec protocol to use, the authentication and encryption keys, and duration of key use. An IPsec SA is unidirectional; a host may have an inbound SA and an outbound SA associated with particular IP packet protocols and services, and the IPsec protocol used to protect them. When properly configured, the IPsec rules define the Security Associations for IP traffic to and from the Jetdirect print server and can ensure all traffic is secure. HP Jetdirect IPsec Wizard Use the IPsec wizard to create one or more rules that will be applied to IP traffic under the IPsec policy. Click Add Rule to start the IPsec wizard. The wizard guides you through the configuration of up to ten rules, each rule specifying the host addresses, services, and IPsec authentication/encryption settings to be applied to IP traffic.
