VPN Tunnel Name

Type a name for the VPN tunnel.

Local SPI

Type a hexadecimal number (up to 8 characters, 0-9, a-f) that represents

 

the SA that handles outbound traffic on the local FortiGate unit. The valid

 

range is from 0xbb8 to 0xffffffff. This value must match the Remote

 

SPI value in the manual key configuration at the remote peer.

Remote SPI

Type a hexadecimal number (up to 8 characters, 0-9, a-f) that represents

 

the SA that handles inbound traffic on the local FortiGate unit. The valid

 

range is from 0xbb8 to 0xffffffff. This value must match the Local

 

SPI value in the manual key configuration at the remote peer.

Remote Gateway

Type the IP address of the public interface to the remote peer. The

 

address identifies the recipient of ESP datagrams.

Encryption

Select one of the following symmetric-key encryption algorithms:

Algorithm

DES-Digital Encryption Standard, a 64-bit block algorithm that uses a

 

56-bit key.

 

3DES-Triple-DES, in which plain text is encrypted three times by three

 

keys.

 

AES128-A 128-bit block algorithm that uses a 128-bit key.

 

AES192-A 128-bit block algorithm that uses a 192-bit key.

 

AES256-A 128-bit block algorithm that uses a 256-bit key.

Encryption Key

If you selected:

 

DES, type a 16-character hexadecimal number (0-9, a-f).

 

3DES, type a 48-character hexadecimal number (0-9, a-f) separated

 

into three segments of 16 characters.

 

AES128, type a 32-character hexadecimal number (0-9, a-f)

 

separated into two segments of 16 characters.

 

AES192, type a 48-character hexadecimal number (0-9, a-f)

 

separated into three segments of 16 characters.

 

AES256, type a 64-character hexadecimal number (0-9, a-f)

 

separated into four segments of 16 characters.
