Appendix A

Encryption Parameters

This appendix contains parameter descriptions for PPP and frame relay encryption

parameters, and for WEP line and circuit interface parameters.

PPP and Frame Relay Encryption Parameters

Encryption parameters for PPP and frame relay are the same, but Site Manager

paths and MIB object IDs differ.

Parameter: Node Protection Key

Path: PPP: Configuration Manager > Protocols > PPP > PPP Interface Lists window

Frame Relay: Configuration Manager > Protocols > Frame Relay > Services >

Frame Relay Service List window > PVCs > Add

Default: None

Options: 16 hexadecimal digits

Function: 1) Protects LTSSs on Site Manager.

2) Encrypts and decrypts long-term shared secrets (LTSSs) stored in the router’s

management information base (MIB).

3) Works as a password. The router compares the Node Protection Key (NPK)

from RAM to the NPK entered in Site Manager; this ensures that the MIB

values are encrypted under the same NPK.

Each router or configuration file requires an NPK.

Instructions: Select the NPK from the list in the Site Manager WEP NPK window. Refer to

instructions in Chapter 3.
