4 Configuration via the Command Line Interface
In this chapter
This chapter describes the basic configuration steps for building an operational 
IPSec via the Command Line Interface. Firstly, a reference network is proposed, that 
serves in examples throughout the chapter. Then an outline of the configuration 
procedure is presented. The individual steps are described in detail in the 
subsequent sections.
Reference network
A simple yet realistic VPN reference set-up is defined, as shown below: 
This reference model represents a small network that can be built with off-the-shelf 
equipment in a test lab. In addition, a small-scale field trial in a statically configured 
network environment can be set up according to this model. 
The model represents a network where two site managers are engaged in 
connecting their private LANs via a secure tunnel through the Internet. At Site A the 
local network 10.0.0.0/24 is connected to the Internet by means of a SpeedTouch™ 
gateway. At Site B the SpeedTouch™ gateway provides Internet access for the 
private network 20.0.0.0/24. An IPSec tunnel is established between both 
SpeedTouch™ routers in order to provide secure communication between hosts on 
the private networks over the public Internet.
It is assumed that IP connectivity is established between the two Security Gateways 
(the local and remote SpeedTouch™). The IP connectivity is based on fixed public IP 
addresses at the WAN interfaces of the SpeedTouch™   routers, unless otherwise 
noted. Also the respective LAN sections are assumed to use statically configured IP 
addresses for all hosts. 
Finally, a basic application scenario is established for this reference network. It is 
assumed that at both sides of the connection a single host is connected to the 
private LAN.
