• ESP — encapsulating security payload encapsulates data, enabling the protection of data that follows
in the datagram. ESP provides authentication and confidentiality of every packet. The ESP extension
header is designed to provide a combination of security services for both IPv4 and IPv6. Insert the ESP
header after the IP header and before the next layer protocol header in Transport mode. It is possible
to insert the ESP header between the next layer protocol header and encapsulated IP header in
Tunnel mode. However, Tunnel mode is not supported in Dell Networking OS. For detailed
information about the IP ESP protocol, refer to RFC 4303 .
In OSPFv3 communication, IPsec provides security services between a pair of communicating hosts or
security gateways using either AH or ESP. In an authentication policy on an interface or in an OSPF area,
AH and ESP are used alone; in an encryption policy, AH and ESP may be used together. The difference
between the two mechanisms is the extent of the coverage. ESP only protects IP header fields if they are
encapsulated by ESP.
You decide the set of IPsec protocols that are employed for authentication and encryption and the ways
in which they are employed. When you correctly implement and deploy IPsec, it does not adversely affect
users or hosts. AH and ESP are designed to be cryptographic algorithm-independent.
OSPFv3 Authentication Using IPsec: Configuration Notes
OSPFv3 authentication using IPsec is implemented according to the specifications in RFC 4552.
• To use IPsec, configure an authentication (using AH) or encryption (using ESP) security policy on an
interface or in an OSPFv3 area. Each security policy consists of a security policy index (SPI) and the
key used to validate OSPFv3 packets. After IPsec is configured for OSPFv3, IPsec operation is invisible
to the user.
– You can only enable one security protocol (AH or ESP) at a time on an interface or for an area.
Enable IPsec AH with the
ipv6 ospf authentication
command; enable IPsec ESP with the
ipv6 ospf encryption
command.
– The security policy configured for an area is inherited by default on all interfaces in the area.
– The security policy configured on an interface overrides any area-level configured security for the
area to which the interface is assigned.
– The configured authentication or encryption policy is applied to all OSPFv3 packets transmitted on
the interface or in the area. The IPsec security associations (SAs) are the same on inbound and
outbound traffic on an OSPFv3 interface.
– There is no maximum AH or ESP header length because the headers have fields with variable
lengths.
• Manual key configuration is supported in an authentication or encryption policy (dynamic key
configuration using the internet key exchange [IKE] protocol is not supported).
• In an OSPFv3 authentication policy:
– AH is used to authenticate OSPFv3 headers and certain fields in IPv6 headers and extension
headers.
– MD5 and SHA1 authentication types are supported; encrypted and unencrypted keys are
supported.
• In an OSPFv3 encryption policy:
– Both encryption and authentication are used.
– IPsec security associations (SAs) are supported only in Transport mode (Tunnel mode is not
supported).
– ESP with null encryption is supported for authenticating only OSPFv3 protocol headers.
– ESP with non-null encryption is supported for full confidentiality.
– 3DES, DES, AES-CBC, and NULL encryption algorithms are supported; encrypted and unencrypted
keys are supported.
