•If Fixed is selected, Personal Level Encryption will be used to scramble the data using a fixed key.

•If PLE is selected, Personal Level Encryption will be used to scramble the data using a key generated from the encryption secret.

•If DES56 is selected, the DES algorithm will be used. DES provides better security than PLE, but also requires more time to compute.

•If 3DES is selected, the Triple DES algorithm will be used. In Triple DES, the data is processed three times, each time with a different 56-bit key.

ϖNote: PLE, DES56 and 3DES all require that an Encryption Secret be configured for each user in the VPN Users dialog box. Some VPN devices may not allow 3DES as an option.

The Start IP Address specifies the first IP address to be assigned to client sessions under this configuration. This start address will be incremented by one for each new client session, until the Max Connections limit (specified using the General Tab) is reached. The IP address is freed when the client is finished.
