I was just wondering if you can configure both SSL and IPsec on the same network. I have already configured SSL but also want to configure IPsec wil there be problems

the answer is yes .

But what are you trying to accomplish ?

SSL deals with web browsing (application layer protocol),for example, buying a book in Amazon.

IPsec works in the network layer, and it us used , for example, in a VPN with a firewall.

the security protocol that you should use depends on your intentions

SSL can also be used as a VPN at the network layer

Munck is talking about OpenVPN.
OpenVPN is an hybrid of SSL and IPsec.

Quote:
OpenVPN uses an industrial-strength security model designed to protect against both passive and active attacks. OpenVPN's security model is based on using SSL/TLS for session authentication and the IPSec ESP protocol for secure tunnel transport over UDP. OpenVPN supports the X509 PKI (public key infrastructure) for session authentication, the TLS protocol for key exchange, the OpenSSL cipher-independent EVP interface for encrypting tunnel data, and the HMAC-SHA1 algorithm for authenticating tunnel data.
