Local network
[localnetwork]
This parameter is used in the proposal presented to the remote Security Gateway 
during the Phase 2 negotiation. It determines which messages have access to the 
IPSec connection at the local side of the tunnel. This is basic parameter for the 
dynamic IPSec policy capabilities of the SpeedTouch™. As an outcome of the 
Phase2 negotiations, a static IPSec policy is derived. This results in a cloned 
connection, where the parameters localmatch, remotematch, localselector, 
remoteselector are automatically filled in by the SpeedTouch™. 
The valid settings are:
the keyword: retrieve_from_server
This setting can be used in an IPSec client/server configuration. It is only 
relevant at the client side of the connection where the SpeedTouch™ acts as 
an initiator for the IPSec Security Association. 
the keyword: black_ip
This setting is used only for remote management scenarios where the IPSec 
tunnel is used exclusively for information generated or terminated by the 
SpeedTouch™. 
a symbolic name of a network descriptor
This is the most common selection in a site-to-site application. In this case the 
localnetwork parameter holds the symbolic name of the network descriptor 
that refers to the local private network having access to the IPSec connection. 
As mentioned above, the access can be restricted to a single protocol and port 
number.
Remote network
[remotenetwork]
This parameter describes the remote network that may use the IPSec connection. 
This parameter expresses a dynamic policy, which during the Phase 2 negotiation 
results in a static policy expressed by the localmatch, remotematch, and 
localselector and remoteselector parameters.
The valid settings are:
the keyword: retrieve_from_server
This setting can be used in an IPSec client/server configuration. It is only 
relevant at the client side of the connection where the SpeedTouch™ acts as 
an initiator for the IPSec Security Association. 
the keyword: allocated_virtual_ip
This setting can be used in an IPSec client/server configuration. It is only 
relevant at the server side of the connection.
the keyword: black_ip
Designates the public IP address of the remote Security Gateway as the end 
user of the secure connection. This setting is useful for a connection that 
serves secure remote management of the remote Security Gateway. 
a symbolic name of a network descriptor
This setting is used when the network environment at the remote side is 
completely known. This is often the case in a site-to-site application where the 
VPN structure and the use of specific ranges of IP addresses are under the 
control of a network manager.
