1. IKE Peer Name: The first field in the IKE Peer Definition screen
is to assign a logical name to the IKE peer. This name is of no
importance to the remote IKE peer. Choose a name that is
meaningful to you. Enter the IKE Peer Name in the field provided.
2. Pre-Shared Secret: A pre-shared secret is a case-sensitive character
string used for authentication. This secret can be up to 256 characters,
with no spaces or non-printable characters. The pre-shared secret
must be mutually agreed upon by both parties to the IKE connection.
Enter your pre-shared secret in the field provided.
3. Peer Gateway IP Address: Enter the IP address of the gateway at the
remote end of the IKE connection. If the remote IKE peer does not
have a fixed or permanent IP address, enter “0.0.0.0” to use
Aggressive Mode in Phase 1 negotiations. Your router supports two
Phase 1 IKE modes: Main and Aggressive. Your router will use Main
Mode when both the source and destination IP addresses are known.
Your router will use Aggressive Mode when either the source or
destination IP addresses could change.
4. Click on the Save IKE Settings button to save your IKE peer
definition and return to the home screen.
