IPsec Settings

IPsec settings for this machine can be made on Web Image Monitor. The following table explains individual setting items.

Encryption Key Auto Exchange / Manual Settings - Shared Settings

Setting

Description

Setting Value

IPsec

Specify whether to enable or disable IPsec.

  • Active

  • Inactive

Exclude HTTPS Transmission

Specify whether to enable IPsec for HTTPS transmission.

  • Active

  • Inactive

Specify "Active" if you do not want to use IPsec for HTTPS transmission.

Encryption Key Manual Settings

Specify whether to enable Encryption Key Manual Settings, or use Encryption Key Auto Exchange Settings only.

  • Active

  • Inactive

Specify "Active" if you want to use "Encryption Key Manual Exchange Settings".

Encryption Key Auto Exchange Security Level

When you select a security level, certain security settings are automatically configured. The following table explains security level features.

Security Level

Security Level Features

Authentication Only

Select this level if you want to authenticate the transmission partner and prevent unauthorized data tampering, but not perform data packet encryption.

Since the data is sent in cleartext, data packets are vulnerable to eavesdropping attacks. Do not select this if you are exchanging sensitive information.

Authentication and Low Level Encryption

Select this level if you want to encrypt the data packets as well as authenticate the transmission partner and prevent unauthorized packet tampering. Packet encryption helps prevent eavesdropping attacks. This level provides less security than "Authentication and High Level Encryption".

Authentication and High Level Encryption

Select this level if you want to encrypt the data packets as well as authenticate the transmission partner and prevent unauthorized packet tampering. Packet encryption helps prevent eavesdropping attacks. This level provides higher security than "Authentication and Low Level Encryption".

The following table lists the settings that are automatically configured according to the security level.

Encryption Key Auto Exchange Setting Items

When you specify a security level, the corresponding security settings are automatically configured, but other settings, such as address type, local address, and remote address must still be configured manually.

After you specify a security level, you can still make changes to the auto configured settings. When you change an auto configured setting, the security level switches automatically to "User Setting".

Setting

Description

Setting Value

Address Type

Specify the address type for which IPsec transmission is used.

  • Inactive

  • IPv4

  • IPv6

  • IPv4/IPv6 (Default Settings only)

Local Address

Specify the machine's address. If you are using multiple addresses in IPv6, you can also specify an address range.

The machine's IPv4 or IPv6 address.

If you are not setting an address range, enter 32 after an IPv4 address, or enter 128 after an IPv6 address.

Remote Address

Specify the address of the IPsec transmission partner. You can also specify an address range.

The IPsec transmission partner's IPv4 or IPv6 address.

Encapsulation Mode

Specify the encapsulation mode.

(auto setting)

  • Transport

  • Tunnel

(Tunnel beginning address - Tunnel ending address)

If you specify "Tunnel", you must then specify the "Tunnel End Points", which are the beginning and ending IP addresses. Set the same address for the beginning point as you set in "Local Address".

IPsec Requirement Level

Specify whether to only transmit using IPsec, or to allow cleartext transmission when IPsec cannot be established.

(auto setting)

  • Use When Possible

  • Always Require

Authentication Method

Specify the method for authenticating transmission partners.

(auto setting)

  • PSK

  • Certificate

If you specify PSK, you must then set the PSK text (using ASCII characters).

If you specify Certificate, the certificate for IPsec must be installed and specified before it can be used.
