Host-To-Host

This scenario shows how to configure IPSec between two single hosts which do not have a subnet behind them. Since there’s only host-to-host communication, both transport and tunnel mode can be used.

Test Host-To-Host Transport Mode

Description

Simple VPN configuration to connect two hosts using transport mode.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0:
