Managing the IPSec network management interface

MainView for IP uses the IPSEC network management interface to gather the following data:

  • IPSec filtering rules for each TCP/IP stack
  • Summary statistics for IKE, IPSec, and IP Filtering
  • Dynamic and IKE tunnel statistics
Warning

Turn on the IPCONFIG IPSECURITY configuration in the TCP/IP profile data set only if you are implementing IP Security (IPSEC) on your TCP/IP stack.

An active IP security policy is required to enable a z/OS system to classify any IP packet that comes across a network interface. In addition, the z/OS system will then allow specific action according to the defined filtering rules. The filter rule can be used to filter out unwanted packets.

Note

For more information about configuring IP security, see the IBM z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide.
