+= Securing connections between routers
+
+Connections between interior routers should be secured with SSL/TLS encryption
and authentication (also called mutual authentication) to prevent unauthorized
routers (or endpoints pretending to be routers) from joining the network.
+
+SSL/TLS mutual authentication requires an X.509 Certificate Authority (CA)
with individual certificates generated for each interior router. Connections
between the interior routers are encrypted, and the CA authenticates each
incoming inter-router connection.
+
+This procedure describes how to secure a connection between two interior
routers using SSL/TLS mutual authentication. You can also use this method to
secure connections between edge routers and interior routers, but it is not
required.
+
+.Prerequisites
+
+* An X.509 Certificate Authority must exist for the interior routers.
+
+* A security certificate must be generated for each router and be signed by
the CA.
+
+* An inter-router connection must exist between the routers.
++
+For more information, see xref:connecting-routers-router[].
+
+.Procedure
+
+. On the router that establishes the connection, do the following:
+
+.. Open the {RouterConfigFile}.
