Thank you very much there is a firewall between the server and I have been working with our Network team on. Protocol ID 50, 51 and UDP 88 are allowed. In IPSEC Monitor I am seeing traffic sending but nothing received. Plus I see nothing under associations. I even tried to un-assign the IPSec policy on all servers involved and still cannot ping even though the network firewall is allowing it. Now we are not Nat'ing and did not request port 4500. Also the windows firewall is disable just to take this out of the loop. Are their any other ports I am missing?

In Windows 2012 R2 we have setup and assigned a IPSEC policy. IN the policy we did not specify an endpoint on the initial screen since the IPSec tunnel is between two internal servers. My questions is it is required to have the firewall enabled and have a rule setup to force all inbound or outbound connections through IPSec? I guess what I am asking is &nbsp;will IPSec work if the Windows firewall is disabled? Right now we are trying to test the IPSec tunnel between the two servers and only see Key deletions listed under the IPSec Stats everything else is zero and nothing listed under associations.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

OS Security

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
