Configuration Mode Commands : SteelHead Configuration Commands : IPSec Commands : ip security enable
  
ip security enable
Enables IPSec support.
Syntax
[no] ip security enable
Parameters
None
Usage
Enabling IPSec support makes it difficult for a third party to view your data or pose as a machine you expect to receive data from. You must also specify a shared secret to enable IPSec support. To create a shared secret see, ip security shared secret.
To enable IPSec authentication, you must have at least one encryption and authentication algorithm specified.
You must set IPSec support on each peer SteelHead in your network for which you want to establish a secure connection. You must also specify a shared secret on each peer SteelHead.
If you NAT traffic between SteelHeads, you cannot use the IPSec channel between the appliances because the NAT changes the packet headers, causing IPSec to reject them.
Note: RiOS 6.0 and later also provides support for SSL peering beyond traditional HTTPS traffic. For details, see Secure Peering (Secure Inner Channel) Commands.
The no command option disables IPSec support.
