With activated IPSec VPN a firewall is automatically activated. Only activated services can
pass the firewall.
Interface Assignment
Furthermore, the assignment of the Ethernet interfaces according to the respective application
is necessary. You will find more information in section 9.1.7.2, Physical Interface for the
Communication.
You will find further information in appendix E.6, Usage with IPSec VPN.
