Re: large-scale IPSEC tunnel deployment

2003-10-10 Thread Neil J. McRae

 Hello,
   Does anyone have any experience with large scale production IPSEC
 tunnel deployment, where large scale is defined as over 100 net-to-net
 tunnels to different destination networks active at any time?
   If so, would such person(s) mind sharing any
 quirks/platforms/implementations for more or less automated topology
 testing/verification?

Orchestream has some of this functionality for setting the tunnels up,
you can then use the corba interface to setup management with
tools like SMARTS. The other problem is managing the keys, if you
don't have a CA it will be painful if you need to change the keys. We
have had some success with RSA's CA platform and IOS on this.

Since you are saying some success would you mind elaborating on what did
not work well with IOS?

Thanks,
