Tunnel Name: Choose a name meaningful to you.

Local Identity: This can be left blank for most users. If left blank it will default to the IP address of the WAN connection. Currently we only support identifiers in the form of an IP address, a user fully qualified domain name (user@mydomain.com) or just a fully qualified domain name (www.mydomain.com). If the remote side of the tunnel is configured to expect an identifier, then both must match in order for the negotiation to succeed.

Remote Identity: This can be left blank for most users. If left blank it will default to the IP address of the WAN connection. Currently we only support identifiers in the form of an IP address, a user fully qualified domain name (user@mydomain.com) or just a fully qualified domain name (www.mydomain.com). If no identifier is defined then no verification of the remote peer's identification will be done.

Pre-shared Key: Create a password or key. The routers on both sides of the tunnel must use this same key.

Mode: Tunnel or Transport. Tunnel Mode is used for protecting traffic between different networks, when traffic must pass through an intermediate, untrusted network. Transport Mode is used for end-to-end communications (for example, for communications between a client and a server).

Initiator Mode: Always On/Boot” or ―On Demand.‖ ―Always On/Boot‖ is used if you want the tunnel to initiate the tunnel connection whenever the WAN becomes available. On Demand is used if you want the tunnel to initiate a connection if and only if there is data traffic bound for the remote side of the tunnel.
