Enabling Wire-level Security

Wire-level security encrypts data transmission between the nodes in your cluster.

You can enable encryption for data on the wire at the volume level only if security is enabled at the cluster level. If necessary, refer to Determining if a Cluster is Secure Using the CLI and REST API to determine if the cluster is secure before enabling wire-level encryption on a volume. If your cluster is enabled for security, wire-level security is enabled by default on all new volumes and no additional steps are required. This section describes how to enable wire-level security on new and existing volumes (if the volume is already not enabled for wire-level security).
