Phase 1

The basic phase 1 settings associate IPSec phase 1 parameters with a remote gateway and determine:

whether the various phase 1 parameters will be exchanged in multiple rounds with encrypted authentication information (main mode) or in a single message with authentication information that is not encrypted (aggressive mode)

whether a preshared key or digital certificates will be used to authenticate the identities of the two VPN peers

whether a peer identifier, certificate distinguished name, or group name will be used to identify the remote peer or client when a connection attempt is made

In phase 1, the two VPN peers exchange keys to establish a secure communication channel between them. The advanced P1 Proposal parameters select the encryption and authentication algorithms that are used to generate the keys. Additional advanced phase 1 settings can be selected to ensure the smooth operation of phase 1 negotiations.

To configure phase 1 settings

1Go to VPN > IPSEC > Phase 1.

2Follow the general guidelines in these sections:

“Phase 1 list” on page 246

“Phase 1 basic settings” on page 247

“Phase 1 advanced settings” on page 249

For information about how to choose the correct phase 1 settings for your particular situation, refer to the FortiGate VPN Guide.

Note: The procedures in this section assume that you want the FortiGate unit to generate unique IPSec encryption and authentication keys automatically. In situations where a remote VPN peer requires a specific IPSec encryption and/or authentication key, you must configure the FortiGate unit to use manual keys instead. For more information, see “Manual key” on page 253.
