Scenario.

You have two systems, Apple (15.1.1.1) and Banana (15.2.2.2). You want to use authenticated ESP with 3DES encryption and SHA-1 authentication for all telnet traffic from Apple to Banana, and for all telnet traffic from Banana to Apple. All other network traffic will pass in clear text.You do not have a Public Key Infrastructure, so you can use only preshared keys for ISAKMP primary authentication.

You will use the default values for most parameters, such as the Security Association Lifetimes.

Apple System Configuration

IPSec Policies

On Apple, you must configure two IPSec policies. The first IPSec policy (telnetAB) is for telnet requests from Apple to Banana (users on Apple telnetting to Banana). Note that since the telnet clients on Apple may use any non-reserved TCP port number, you set the local port number to an asterisk ("*") to indicate any port number. You set the remote port number to 23, the well-known port for the telnet service.

Example 1: telnet AB

The second IPSec policy (telnetBA) is for telnet requests from Banana to Apple (users on Banana telnetting to Apple). Note that since the telnet clients on Banana may use any non-reserved TCP port number, you set the remote port number to an asterisk ("*") to indicate any port number. You set the local port number to 23, the well-known port for the telnet service.

Example 1: telnet BA

Both IPSec policies telnetAB and telnetBA use the ISAKMP default policy.

In addition, you must modify the default IPSec policy to pass all other traffic in clear text.

ISAKMP Policy

Since you are using IPSec/9000 between Apple and one other system (Banana), you can just modify the default ISAKMP policy for all requirements. Note that the (primary) authentication method must be set to "preshared key" since you do not have a Public Key Infrastructure.

Preshared Keys

You must configure the key to use when authenticating system Banana's identity and to authenticate your identity to Banana. Note that the remote address for the preshared key is 15.2.2.2 (Banana's IP address).

Banana System Configuration

The configuration on Banana is the mirror-image of the configuration on Apple. Note that the remote address for the preshared key is 15.1.1.1 (Apple's IP address) and the preshared key matches the key configured on Apple for Banana.
