Configuring an SXP Peer Connection
You must configure the SXP peer connection on both of the devices. One device is the speaker and the
other is the listener. When using password protection, make sure to use the same password on both ends.
Note If a default SXP source IP address is not configured and you do not configure an SXP source address in
the connection, the Cisco TrustSec software derives the SXP source IP address from existing local IP
addresses. The SXP source address might be different for each TCP connection initiated from the switch.
