Connections between the interior routers are encrypted, and the CA authenticates each incoming inter-router connection. + +This procedure describes how to secure a connection between two interior routers using SSL/TLS mutual authentication. You can also use this method to secure connections between edge routers and interior routers, but it is not required. + +.Prerequisites + +* An X.509 Certificate Authority must exist for the interior routers. + +* A security certificate must be generated for each router and be signed by the CA. + +* An inter-router connection must exist between the routers. ++ +For more information, see xref:connecting-routers-router[]. + +.Procedure + +.
