compatibility between IPSec 2.00 and NAT (network translation adress)

Hi ,

i would like to install and configure IPSec 2.00 on my hpux 11.11 server in order to communicate with a distant customer (probably a hpux 11.11 server too), our network is based on a NAT (network translation address) structure . I think that IPSec use a ESP protocol which is changing the header of UDP/TCP !! Is it a problem for my NAT ?Thanks

Hi
ESP doesn't change the IP header, only if it is configured in tunnel mode.
Even in this case there should be no problem with your NAT addresses.
Good luck
