VPN on the OnBoard
IPSec VPN Connections
For a user to access native IP functionality on a connected service processor,
the user needs to create a VPN connection to the OnBoard; launching an
IPSec VPN connection requires the user to have IPSec running on the
computer being used to manage OnBoard-connected devices.
The ESP and AH authentication protocols (also called “encapsulation
methods”) are supported. RSA Public Keys and Shared Secret are also
supported. Authentication information (username and password and
connection keys or certificates) is needed.
If the RSA public key authentication method is chosen, the generated keys are
different on each end. When shared secret is used, the secret is shared on both
ends.
The values needed for configuring IPSec VPN connections can shown in the
following table.
