Managing the Encapsulated Security Payload (ESP) Protocol
The Encapsulated Security Payload (ESP) employed by IPsec provides encryption and authentication, making sure
that messages originated from the expected sender have not been altered in transit.

Section12.8.8.1
Configuring ESP Encryption
To configure the encryption algorithm for the Encapsulate Security Payload (ESP), do the following:
1. Make sure the CLI is in Configuration mode.
2. Navigate to tunnel» ipsec» connection» {connection}» esp, where {connection} is the name of the
connection.
3. Configure the encryption algorithm by typing:
tunnel ipsec connection connection esp modpgroup modpgroup
Where:
• connection is the name of the connection.
• modpgroup is the Modular Exponential (MODP) group. Options include any, modp1024, modp1536,
modp2048, modp3072, modp4096, modp6144 and modp8192. The default is modp2048 depending on
the default connection setting. The option any selects the default.
4. If required, add additional cipher algorithms. For more information on how to add algorithms, refer to
Section12.8.8.3, “Adding an ESP Algorithm”.
5. Type commit and press Enter to save the changes, or type revert and press Enter to abort.
Section12.8.8.2
Viewing a List of ESP Algorithms
To view a list of algorithms for the Encapsulate Security Payload (ESP) protocol, type:
show running-config tunnel ipsec connection connection esp algorithm
Where:
• connection is the name of the connection
If algorithms have been configured, a table or list similar to the following example appears:
tunnel
