Two types of authentication are supported for IPSec:

to configure when only a few hosts on the network use IPSec.
•
Certificate Authentication
–Allows any hosts or subnet of hosts to authenticate for IPSec. Each host must have
a public/private key pair.
Validate Peer Certificate
is enabled by default, requiring each host to have a signed
certificate. The certificate authority certificate must be installed. Each host must have its identifier in the
