“Phase 2 advanced options” on page 252

For information about how to choose the correct phase 2 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.
