Are you sure you mean IPSec and not ipfilter (genfilt, lsfilt)?

You can use ipfilter and not do IPSec to do these things.

IPSec is encryption.

I used IPSec to accomplish this task. With IPsec you
can block specific: IP addresses, protocols, ports, and
either incoming or outgoing. It's a lot like Linux's IPTables.
I have my port 25 blocked on ingress to all IP's except
localhost. IPsec is found on the AIX installation media set,
and you administer it through Smit.
