IPSec icon
An icon that looks like a small lock next to the System Status button means IPSec is enabled.
This icon is shown in
Figure 8: IPSec icon
on page 13.
Figure 8: IPSec icon
IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) is a set of network protocols and services that provide security
to IP networks by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a data stream. IPSec-protected
packets travel through a virtual tunnel or path between two points. An IPSec tunnel is
up
when
it has been established between two peers and is capable of carrying traffic. If it cannot carry
traffic it is
down
.
When IPSec is enabled (IPSec icon present), the router attempts to establish all configured
tunnels. The status of all configured tunnels at any given time (if IPSec is enabled) is one of the
following:
• All tunnels are established (green System Status button).
• Some tunnels are established (orange System Status button).
• No tunnels are established (red System Status button).
