B.2.7 Virtual Private Networks
The Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows organizations to use service provider networks for secure
exchanges with remote offices, vendors, and partners. VPN authenticate peer systems and optionally encrypt
transmissions using key exchanges, hashing, and encryption algorithms.
The
DS2000-TS
implementation of the VPN conforms to IPSec RFC 2401 (using DES and Triple DES) and
provides VPN solutions for both site-to-site (router-to-router) and remote access VPN deployments.
IPSec provides security services at the IP layer by enabling a system to select required security protocols,
determine the algorithm(s) to use for the service(s), and set up any cryptographic keys required to provide
the requested services. IPSec can be used to protect one or more “paths” between a pair of hosts, between a
pair of security gateways, or between a security gateway and a host. The following sections describe the
VPN configuration and status screens.
