IPSec Security Method

This group of fields is a must for IPSec Tunnels and L2TP

 

with IPSec Policy when you specify the remote node. Check

 

the Medium, DES, 3DES or AES box as the security method.

 

Medium -Authentication Header (AH) means data will be

 

authenticated, but not be encrypted. By default, this option is

 

invoked. You can uncheck it to disable it.

 

High-Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) means payload

 

(data) will be encrypted and authenticated. You may select

 

encryption algorithm from Data Encryption Standard (DES),

 

Triple DES (3DES), and AES.

 

Local ID - Specify a local ID to be used for Dial-in setting in

 

the LAN-to-LAN Profile setup. This item is optional and can

 

be used only in IKE aggressive mode.

Callback Function

The callback function provides a callback service only for the

 

ISDN dial-in user (for i model only). The remote user will be

 

charged the connection fee by the telecom.

 

Check to enable Callback function-Enables the callback

 

function.

 

Specify the callback number-The option is for extra security.

 

Once enabled, the router will ONLY call back to the specified

 

Callback Number.

 

Check to enable callback budget control-By default, the

 

callback function has a time restriction. Once the callback

 

budget has been exhausted, the callback mechanism will be

 

disabled automatically.

 

Callback Budget (Unit: minutes)- Specify the time budget

 

for the dial-in user. The budget will be decreased
