Configure HIPswitch encryption and tunnel compression

You can change the encryption or compression of HIPswitches.

  1. Go to HIPservices and select a HIPswitch.
  2. Click Edit Settings.
  3. In the Advanced settings section, select one of the following from the Default encryption drop-down:
    • AES-256-GCM and compression
    • AES-256-GCM
    • AES-256-CBC and compression
    • AES-256-CBC
    Note: Enabling compression may result in improved throughput
  4. Click Update Settings.
Important: If the encryption or compression settings of two communicating HIPswitches differ, the settings of the peer HIPswitch are used by default.
