Connection Types

Connections refers to anything you create in your Windows 2000 Network Connections console on the computer.

Designating a connection type for each rule allows you to determine what computer connections (interfaces) are affected by your IPSec policy—dial-up adapters or network cards. Each rule has a connection property that designates whether the rule applies to multiple connections or just one connection. For example, you might want rules that require extremely high security to only apply to dial-up connections, not to local area network (LAN) connections.
