(Optional) Configuring IPSec Mask Filtering
Context
In scenarios where branches connect to the headquarters, if a branch has a too large protection data flow range configured, traffic of other branches may be incorrectly diverted to the branch. In this case, you can configure IPSec mask
filtering to check and restrict access of flow information negotiated by the IPSec tunnel. After this function is configured, the device checks the source and destination IP address masks of the peer device. If the mask values are greater than or equal
to the configured values, subsequent negotiation continues. Otherwise, the IPSec SA negotiation fails.
NOTE:
The device checks and restricts the access of flow information only when it adopts the IPSec policy template.
