IKE Key Management

IKE Key Management Dialog Box

Once you have created a VPN port, you may access the IKE Key Manage- ment Dialog Box by clicking on the port’s icon and selecting IKE Key Management.

This dialog box sets the Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol/Internet Key Exchange (ISAKMP/IKE) parameters. These settings control how each tunnel partner will identify and authenticate each other.

>Key Manage

If Auto key management is selected, IKE will be used to allow two devices to negotiate between themselves what type of encryption and authentication to use for the tunnel. The Auto setting should only be used when the tunnel partner is another Compatible Systems VPN device.

If Manual is selected, this Tunnel Partner will not use IKE, and the tunnel’s encryption and authentication parameters must be manually set in the Manual Key Management Dialog Box.

If Initiate is selected, this Tunnel Partner will use IKE, but will only initiate tunnel establishment. It will not respond to tunnel establishment attempts from other devices.
