Peer Internal IP
Netmask
The Peer Internal IP Netmask is the subnet mask of the Peer Internal IP
Network.
PFS Enable Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) is used during SA renegotiation. When
PFS is selected, a Diffie-Hellman key exchange is required. If enabled, the
PFS DH group follows the IKE phase 1 DH group.
Pre-Shared Key The Pre-Shared Key is a parameter used for authenticating each side. The
value can be an ASCII or Hex and a maximum of 64 characters. ASCII is
case-sensitive.
Pre-Shared Key
Type
The Pre-Shared Key Type classifies the Pre-Shared Key.
IPSec VPN sup-
ports ASCII or HEX types
Name The Name parameter refers to the name of the configured tunnel. This is
mainly used as an identifier for the administrator. The Name parameter is
an ASCII value and is limited to 31characters. The tunnel name is the only
IPSec parameter that does not need to match the peer gateway.
Negotiation
Method
This parameter refers to the method used during the Phase I key
exchange, or IKE process.
IPSec VPN supports Main or Aggressive
Mode. Main mode requires 3 two-way message exchanges while Aggres-
sive mode only requires 3 total message exchanges.
SA Encrypt Type SA Encryption Type refers to the symmetric encryption type. This encryp-
tion algorithm will be used to encrypt each data packet. SA Encryption
Type values supported include DES and 3DES.
SA Hash Type SA Hash Type refers to the Authentication Hash algorithm used during SA
negotiation. Values supported include MD5 and SHA1. N/A will display if
NONE is chosen for Auth Protocol.
Soft MBytes Setting the Soft MBytes parameter forces the renegotiation of the IPSec
Security Associations (SAs) at the configured Soft MByte value. The value
can be configured between 1 and 1,000,000 MB and refers to data traffic
passed. If this value is not achieved, the Hard MBytes parameter is
enforced.
Soft Seconds Setting the Soft Seconds parameter forces the renegotiation of the IPSec
Security Associations (SAs) at the configured Soft Seconds value. The
value can be configured between 60 and 1,000,000 seconds.
Hard MBytes Setting the Hard MBytes parameter forces the renegotiation of the IPSec
Security Associations (SAs) at the configured Hard MByte value.
The value can be configured between 1 and 1,000,000 MB and refers to
data traffic passed.
Hard Seconds Setting the Hard Seconds parameter forces the renegotiation of the IPSec
Security Associations (SAs) at the configured Hard Seconds value. The
value can be configured between 60 and 1,000,000 seconds
