View Full Version : IPSec policy


Blake
Can an IPSec policy be applied to only 1 adapter in a multi-homed server?
(I'm not going for IPSec per se, I want to use this as a poor man's
firewall - but just on a single NIC, not for the entire machine.

Thanks
Blake

I have not tried it, but when you configure the policy, instead of using "my IP
address" for source/destination enter the IP address of the adapter instead. Of
course it would need to be static address, or problems would occur if the
address changed. --- Steve
