10. Network Group Encryption

The 7705 SAR-Hm series of routers supports Network Group Encryption (NGE) for securing MPLS services and their related control plane. Supported NGE functions include the following:

  1. SDP encryption of Layer 2 and Layer 3 service
  2. VPRN encryption
  3. router interface and PDN interface encryption of control plane and data plane Layer 3 packets
  4. PW template encryption for BGP VPLS and BGP VPWS services

For information on router interface encryption commands, refer to “Router Interface Encryption Commands” in the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Router Configuration Guide.

For information on SDP, VPRN, and PW template encryption, refer to “NGE” in the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Services Overview Guide.
