policy
Displays or modifies the encryption and authentication algorithms for security policies.
Synopsis policy option type number [--enc method] [--auth algorithm] [--pfs value] [--dh group] [--seclife
seconds]
Description Use this command to display or modify the encryption and authentication algorithms for security
policies. You can configure a maximum of 32 Internet key exchange (IKE) and 32 Internet protocol
security (IPSec) policies.
Each FCIP tunnel is configured separately and might have the same or different IKE and IPSec
policies.
Policies cannot be altered. To change the parameters associated with a current IKE or IPSec
ike, that policy must be deleted and re-created with new parameters.
A policy cannot be deleted while an active FCIP tunnel is using it.
Operands option Specifies the action to take. Actions include:
--create Creates the policy.
--delete Deletes the policy.
--show Displays the policy.
type Specifies the policy type. Types include:
--ike Internet key exchange.
--ipsec Internet protocol security.
number Specifies the numeric ID of the policy. Valid values are 1 to 32, and ALL with
the --show option.
Optional
Operands
-enc method Specifies the encryption algorithm. The default is AES-128. Methods include:
3DES Triple data encryption standard, 192-bit key.
AES-128 Advanced encryption standard, 128-bit key.
AES-256 Advanced encryption standard, 256-bit key.
-auth algorithm Specifies the authentication algorithm. The default is SHA-1. Algorithms
include:
SHA-1 Secure hash algorithm.
MD5 Message digest 5
AES-XCBCAdvanced encryption standard. Valid only wiht IPSec.
-pfs value Specifies the perfect forward secrecy. This operand is valid only with IKE
policies. Values are on (default) or off.
-dh group Specifies the Diffie-Hellman group used in PFS negotiation. This operand is
valid only with IKE policies. The default is 1. Values include:
1 Fastest as it uses 768 bit values, but least secure.
14 Slowest as it uses 2048 bit values, but most secure.
