It is possible to connect an Apple Mac with OSX to a FireBrick over IPSEC with IKEv2 and EAP. Regrettably the IPSEC facilities within OSX are not fully enough featured to achieve this alone, so some additional VPN client software can be installed called StrongSwan.
Downloading & installing the StrongSwan Native Client
Visit [The download site|http://download.strongswan.org/osx/] and download the latest binary. At the time of writing the latest version was strongswan-5.2.2-1.app.zip. Allow the machine to unarchive it; usually by selecting the "Open with Archive Utility" option. This will deposit the StrongSwan.app into your downloads directory. Drag the app from the downloads directory into your Applications folder. This completes installation of the StrongSwan Client.
Getting the CA from the FireBrick
It may be that this is emailed to you by whoever maintains your FireBrick, in which case skip this step.
