26 Configuring IPSec
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a protocol suite used to secure communications at
IP level. Use IPSec to secure communications between two hosts or between two
networks. Virtual Access routers implement IPSec using strongSwan software.
If you need to create an IPSec template for DMVPN, read the chapter ‘Dynamic
Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN)’.
The number of IPSec tunnels supported by Virtual Access’ routers is not limited in any
way by software; the only hardware limitation is the amount of RAM installed on the
device.
