 Lawful Intercept (LI) solution supports the following:

  • Encrypts media transferred from Session Border Controller (SBC) to the collection device to avoid security issues.
  • Supports Internet Protocol Security (

...

  • IPsec) encapsulation of Call Data interface (X3).
  • Enables

...

  • IPsec encapsulation on the Call Content (media) interface for LI security.
  • Associates

  • IPsec to the IP interface group configured in the CDC.
  • Manages

...

  • IPsec at the application level.

This page describes how to configure IPsec support.
