IPsec Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
IPsec may be configured to implement Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). A VPN may be used to securely link two or more networks over an insecure network (such as the Internet). For a minimal configuration, you need two Solaris 8 systems, each with two network interfaces. These two systems will serve as VPN gateways. Here is a step-by-step guide to setting up a Solaris 8-based VPN:
1. |
Disable all insecure and unneeded network services on both systems. (You may leave those that use strong encryption and authentication, such as Secure Shell.) |
2. |
Disable IP forwarding. |
3. |
Enable IP strict destination multihoming. |
4. |
Configure Security Associations on both systems. |
5. | Configure the IPsec tunnel between the systems. ... |
