Crypto IPSec Transform Set Configuration Mode Commands

The Crypto IPSec Transform Set Configuration Mode is used to configure properties for system transform sets.

Transform Sets are used to define IPSec security associations (SAs). IPSec SAs specify the IPSec protocols to use to protect packets.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > Crypto IPSec Transform Set Configuration

configure > context context_name > crypto ipsec transform-set transform_set_name

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

[context_name]host_name(config-crypto-trans)#

mode

Configures the IPSec encapsulation mode for an existing or new transform set. For a new transform set, you must specify transform set parameters as described for the crypto ipsec transform-set command in the Context Configuration Mode Commands chapter.

Syntax

mode { transport | tunnel } 

transport

Specifies that the transform set only protects the upper layer protocol data portions of an IP datagram, leaving the IP header information unprotected. Default: Disabled


Important


This mode should only be used if the communications end-point is also the cryptographic end-point.


tunnel

Specifies that the transform set protects the entire IP datagram.

This mode should be used if the communications end-point is different from the cryptographic end-point as in a VPN. Default: Enabled

Usage Guidelines

This command specifies the encapsulation mode for the transform set.

Example

The following command configures the transforms set's encapsulation mode to transport:
mode transport
