Defining IPSec Tunnel Settings
There are many different ways to configure, manage and monitor the performance and up-time
of network devices. SNMP, Telnet, HTTP and ICMP are all common protocols to accomplish
network management objectives. And within those objectives is the requirement to provide the
highest level of security possible.
While several network protocols have evolved that offer some level of security and data
encryption, the preferred method for attaining maximum security across all network devices is
to establish an IPSec tunnel between the NOC (Network Operations Center) and the edge
device (early VPN protocols such as PPTP have been widely discredited as a secure tunneling
method).
As part of Nomadix’ commitment to provide outstanding carrier-class network management
capabilities to its family of public access gateways, we offer secure management through the
NSE’s standards-driven, peer-to-peer IPSec tunneling with strong data encryption. Establishing
the IPSec tunnel not only allows for the secure management of the Nomadix gateway using any
preferred management protocol, but also the secure management of third party devices (for
example, WLAN Access Points and 802.3 switches) on private subnets on the subscriber side
of the Nomadix gateway.
The advantage of using IPSec is that all types of management traffic are supported, including
the following typical examples:

ICMP - PING from NOC to edge devices

Telnet - Telnet from NOC to edge devices

Web Management - HTTP access from NOC to edge devices

SNMP

SNMP GET from NOC to subscriber-side device (for example, AP)

SNMP SET from NOC to subscriber-side device (for example, AP)

SNMP Trap from subscriber-side device (for example, AP) to NOC
