c. Click OK to return to the Security Methods tab in the Filter Actions dialog box.

If the parameters you configured for a custom method match a predefined method, the

configuration utility will display an informative message and select the matching

predefined method.

3. From the Security Methods tab, you can add more methods (IPsec SA proposals) by clicking

the Add button. If you have multiple IPsec SA proposals, the configuration utility lists them

in the preference order IKE will use when negotiating IPsec SAs. You can change the order

by using the Move up and Move down buttons. You can also use the Delete button to delete

IPsec SA proposals (such as proposals that use DES, which has been cracked—data encrypted

using DES has been decrypted by unauthorized parties) .

4. (Optional) Configure the action name. When you create a new action (transform), the

configuration utility assigns it the name New Filter Action. To change the name, select the

General tab from the Action Properties dialog box. Enter a new name and click OK to return

to the Filter Action tab in the Rule Properties dialog box.

5. Apply the new action to the rule. In the Filter Action tab, click on the option button for the

filter action you just created to apply the action to the rule you are configuring. For example,

in Figure 11, the administrator created the action my_action and selected it for the rule.

Click Apply.
