Before You Configure IPSec
Before you start to configure IPSec for the SAE:
- Verify that the system on which the SAE is uses the Solaris operating system version 5.9 or higher.

Which encryption algorithms are available depends on whether the system has the Solaris Encryption Kit installed. See the Solaris documentation for more information.
- Make sure that you are familiar with any configuration for IPSec present on the system running the SAE. If IPSec is already configured on the Solaris platform, make sure that system-wide policies are compatible with the IPSec configuration for SAE.
