Here we will use an IPsec tunnel between two FireBricks. We will use IKE2IKEv2 and use a (strong) preshared-secret password.
 
Note that the password shown in the config entries below is an example only. A strong passphrase should be used in a real config.
 
==Manuals==
Do read the official FireBrick manuals for more information - this is just a simple howto, which just coverscovering the basics.

==FireBrick London Config==
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=xml>
<ipsec-ike comment="toReading">
<connection name="toReading" local-ip="203.0.113.1" peer-ips="198.51.100.1" graph="ReadingIPsec" routes="10.0.0.0/24" local-ID="1" peer-ID="1" auth-method="Secret" secret="mySecretPassword" mode="Immediate" blackhole="true"/>
</ipsec-ike>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
If you firewall WAN to 'Self' (The FirebrickFireBrick), then a firewall filter may be needed too, ege.g.:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=xml>
<rule name="IPsec from London FB" protocol="50" action="accept" source-ip="198.51.100.1"/>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
You will also want to add firewall rules to allow traffic between the two LANs, e.g., this will allow all traffic to and from Reading and will not NAT the traffic:
==FireBrick B Config==
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=xml>
<rule-set name="IPsec" source-interface="LAN ipsec" target-interface="LAN ipsec" no-match-action="continue" comment="Allow all traffic ">
<rule name="Allow" set-graph="IPSecTraffic" action="accept" set-nat="false" />
</rule-set>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
This rule actually allows all traffic from all IPSec connections - so do edit to suit your environment.
