Network Requirements for Nortel Networks Routers
To install the IPsec software, the router must be running, at a minimum,
BayRS Version 13.10 and Site Manager Version 7.10. To use Internet Key
Exchange (IKE) and automated security associations (SAs), BayRS Version 13.20
and Site Manager Version 7.20 or later are required.
Supported Routers
Nortel Networks IPsec technologies are implemented on BayRS router interfaces
supporting Ethernet and WAN communications.
IPsec can provide encryption and authentication services to any Ethernet or WAN
interface on the following routers:
• Access Node (AN
*
)
• Access Stack Node (ASN)
• Advanced Remote Node (ARN)
• Backbone Node (BN
*
)
• Passport
*
2430
• Passport 5430
• System 5000 router modules
Nortel Networks Contivity
*
VPN Switch
hardware also supports IPsec. The
Contivity VPN Switch does not use BayRS software, but it can be configured to
interoperate with BayRS. Refer to Appendix D, “
Contivity VPN Switch
Interoperability” and the Contivity documentation for more information.
Supported WAN Protocols
The Nortel Networks implementation of IPsec supports Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP) and frame relay WAN protocols. The Nortel Networks IPsec
implementation also supports dial services, which provide backup and demand
services for PPP and frame relay.
