4.7. Encryption layer commands

This chapter describes commands that configure the Encryption Control Protocol (ECP) layer. All of these commands apply to the currently active bundle.

set ecp key string

Sets the encryption key.

set ecp accept option ...

set ecp deny option ...

set ecp enable option ...

set ecp disable option ...

set ecp yes option ...

set ecp no option ...

These commands configure various ECP options. Each direction of traffic (transmit and receive) is independent from the other. All options default to disable and deny.

The enable and disable commands determine whether we desire the corresponding option on received data. The accept and deny commands determine whether we will allow the peer to request the corresponding option (which we must enable on our transmitted data).

The yes command is the same as enable and accept. The no command is the same as disable and deny.

The options available at the ECP layer are:

des

This option enables DES encryption.
