![Transmission Using IPsecFor securer communications, this machine supports the IPsec protocol. When applied, IPsec encryptsdata packets at the network layer using shared key encryption. The machine uses encryption keyexchange to create a shared key for both sender and receiver. To achieve even higher security, you canalso renew the shared key on a validity period basis.• IPsec is not applied to data obtained through DHCP, DNS, or WINS.• IPsec compatible operating systems are Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista/7, Windows Server2003/2003 R2/2008/2008 R2, Mac OS X 10.6 and later, Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 4.0,and Solaris 10. However, some setting items are not supported depending on the operatingsystem. Make sure the IPsec settings you specify are consistent with the operating system's IPsecsettings.• If you cannot access Web Image Monitor due to IPsec configuration problems, disable IPsec under[Host Interface] on the control panel, and then access Web Image Monitor.• For details about specifying the IPsec settings using Web Image Monitor, see page 101"Configuring the Machine Using Web Image Monitor".• For details about disabling IPsec using the control panel, see page 92 "Host Interface Menu".Encryption and Authentication by IPsecIPsec consists of two main functions: the encryption function, which ensures the confidentiality of data,and the authentication function, which verifies the sender of the data and the data's integrity. Thismachine's IPsec function supports two security protocols: the ESP protocol, which enables both of theIPsec functions at the same time, and the AH protocol, which enables only the authentication function.ESP ProtocolThe ESP protocol provides secure transmission through both encryption and authentication. Thisprotocol does not provide header authentication.• For successful encryption, both the sender and receiver must specify the same encryptionalgorithm and encryption key. The encryption algorithm and encryption key are specifiedautomatically.• For successful authentication, the sender and receiver must specify the same authenticationalgorithm and authentication key. The authentication algorithm and authentication key arespecified automatically.8. Appendix178](https://usermanual.wiki/Ricoh/PRSPC252DN1.BBP-PRSPC252DN1-User-Manual-1/User-Guide-2134301-Page-180.png)
![AH ProtocolThe AH protocol provides secure transmission through authentication of packets only, includingheaders.• For successful authentication, the sender and receiver must specify the same authenticationalgorithm and authentication key. The authentication algorithm and authentication key arespecified automatically.AH Protocol + ESP ProtocolWhen combined, the ESP and AH protocols provide secure transmission through both encryptionand authentication. These protocols provide header authentication.• For successful encryption, both the sender and receiver must specify the same encryptionalgorithm and encryption key. The encryption algorithm and encryption key are specifiedautomatically.• For successful authentication, the sender and receiver must specify the same authenticationalgorithm and authentication key. The authentication algorithm and authentication key arespecified automatically.• Some operating systems use the term "Compliance" in place of "Authentication".Security AssociationThis machine uses encryption key exchange as the key setting method. With this method, agreementssuch as the IPsec algorithm and key must be specified for both sender and receiver. Such agreementsform what is known as an SA (Security Association). IPsec communication is possible only if thereceiver's and sender's SA settings are identical.The SA settings are auto configured on both parties' machines. However, before the IPsec SA can beestablished, the ISAKMP SA (Phase 1) settings must be auto configured. When this is done, the IPsec SA(Phase 2) settings, which allow actual IPsec transmission, will be auto configured.Also, for further security, the SA can be periodically auto updated by applying a validity period (timelimit) for its settings. This machine only supports IKEv1 for encryption key exchange.Multiple settings can be configured in the SA.Settings 1-10You can configure ten separate sets of SA details (such as different shared keys and IPsecalgorithms).IPsec policies are searched through one by one, starting at [No.1].Transmission Using IPsec179](https://usermanual.wiki/Ricoh/PRSPC252DN1.BBP-PRSPC252DN1-User-Manual-1/User-Guide-2134301-Page-181.png)

Set the same IPsec settings as the machine onPC.2. Enable IPsec settings. 2. Enable IPsec settings.3. Confirm IPsec transmission.• After configuring IPsec, you can use "ping" command to check if the connection is establishedcorrectly. Because the response is slow during initial key exchange, it may take some time toconfirm that transmission has been established.• If you cannot access Web Image Monitor due to IPsec configuration problems, disable IPsec onthe control panel, and then access Web Image Monitor.• For details about disabling IPsec using the control panel, see page 92 "Host Interface Menu".Specifying Encryption Key Exchange Settings• [IPsec Settings] appears only if the administrator password has been configured.Specify it using Web Image Monitor.1.
