6.11.3 Configuring IKE Key Settings
The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is an IPsec standard protocol used to ensure security for VPN
negotiation and remote host or network access. IKE provides an automatic means of negotiation and
authentication for communication between two or more parties. In essence, IKE manages IPSec keys
automatically for the parties.
ESP Type ESP provides packet encryption, optional data authentication and
anti-replay services for the VPN tunnel. Use the drop-down menu
to select the ESP type.
• None - Disables ESP. The rest of the fields are not active.
• ESP - Enables ESP for this tunnel.
• ESP with Authentication - Enables ESP with authentication.
ESP Encryption
Algorithm
Use this menu to select the encryption and authentication
algorithms for this VPN tunnel.
• DES - Selects the DES algorithm requiring 64-bit (16-
character hexadecimal) keys.
• 3DES - Selects the 3DES algorithm requiring 192-bit (64-
character hexadecimal) keys.
• AES 128-bit: - Selects the Advanced Encryption Standard
algorithm with 128-bit (32-character hexadecimal) keys.
• AES 192-bit: - Selects the Advanced Encryption Standard
algorithm with 192-bit (48-character hexadecimal) keys.
• AES 256-bit: - Selects the Advanced Encryption Standard
algorithm with 256-bit (64-character hexadecimal) keys.
ESP Authentication
Algorithm
Use this menu to select the authentication algorithm to be used
with ESP. This menu is only active when ESP with Authentication
was selected for the ESP type.
• MD5 - Enables the Message Digest 5 algorithm requiring
128-bit (32-character hexadecimal) keys.
• SHA1 - Enables Secure Hash Algorithm 1 requiring 160-bit
(40-character hexadecimal) keys.
