    You must decide on:

    • From Encryptor list

    • To Encryptor list

    • Forward AH

    • Reverse ESP

    • Reverse AH

    • Transport or Tunnel Mode

    • Optional:

      • Source Screen (object)

      • Destination Screen (object)

      • Source Tunnel

      • Destination Tunnel

  • Solaris IKE

    • ESP

    • AH

    • Encryption Algorithm

    • Hash Algorithm

    • Oakley Group

    • Authentication Method

    • Destination Certificate

    • Transport or Tunnel Mode

    • Optional:

      • Source Screen (object)

      • Destination Screen (object)

      • Source Tunnel

      • Destination Tunnel

• VPN options:

  This option is selected only when forming VPN rules using the previously defined VPN gateways.

After you define and map out your network and decide on your security policy, use data objects, such as services and addresses, to configure SunScreen with the policy rules to control access to your network. At installation, the SunScreen software automatically creates a policy named Initial that you can use to build your own security policies.
