Check Text ( C-21694r371336_chk )

The operator shall determine if IPsec is being used to encrypt data for activities such as cluster interconnects or other non-SSH, SFTP data connections. On both systems review the file /etc/inet/ipsecinit.conf. Ensure that connections between hosts are configured properly in this file per the Solaris 11 documentation. Check that the IPsec policy service is online: # svcs svc:/network/ipsec/policy:default If the IPsec service is not online, this is a finding. If encrypted protocols are not used between systems, this is a finding.
