Creating Layer 2 Point-to-Point Policies
Layer 2 point-to-point policies are created using the policy editor in the ETEMS Policy tab. The
following settings are prerequisites for using this feature:
1 On the Features tab, set the Encryption Policy Setting to Layer 2:Ethernet.
2 On the Features tab, clear the Enable EncrypTight checkbox.
On the Policy tab, just a few settings are needed to configure the ETEP to encrypt traffic. The policies on
the two ETEPs must use the identical preshared key and group ID, and be assigned. opposite roles
(primary and secondary). As with any other appliance configuration setting, you have to push the policy
to the ETEPs for it to take effect.
