Local Identity

Select the desired option to match the "Remote Identity

Type

Type" setting on the remote VPN endpoint.

 

• WAN IP Address - your Internet IP address.

 

• Fully Qualified Domain Name - your domain name.

 

• Fully Qualified User Name - your name, E-mail address,

 

or other ID.

 

 

Local Identity

Enter the data for the selection above. (If "IP Address" is

Data

selected, no input is required.)

Remote Identity

Select the desired option to match the "Local Identity Type"

Type

setting on the remote VPN endpoint.

 

• IP Address - The Internet IP address of the remote VPN

 

endpoint.

 

• Fully Qualified Domain Name - the Domain name of the

 

remote VPN endpoint.

 

• Fully Qualified User Name - the name, E-mail address, or

 

other ID of the remote VPN endpoint.

Remote Identity

Enter the data for the selection above. (If "IP Address" is

Data

selected, no input is required.)

SA Parameters

 

Encryption

Encryption Algorithm used for both IKE and IPSec. This

 

setting must match the setting used on the remote VPN

 

Gateway.

 

 

Authentication

Authentication Algorithm used for both IKE and IPSec. This

 

setting must match the setting used on the remote VPN

 

Gateway.

 

 

Pre-shared Key

The key must be entered both here and on the remote VPN

 

Gateway. This method does not require using a CA (Certifi-

 

cate Authority).

SA Life Time

This determines the time interval before the SA (Security

 

Association) expires. (It will automatically be re-established if

 

necessary.) While using a short time period (or data amount)

 

increases security, it also degrades performance. It is com-

 

mon to use periods over an hour (3600 seconds) for the SA

 

Life Time. This setting applies to both IKE and IPSec SAs.

Enable PFS (Per-

If enabled, security is enhanced by ensuring that the key is

changed at regular intervals. Also, even if one key is broken,

Secrecy)

subsequent keys are no easier to break. (Each key has no

 

relationship to the previous key.)

 

This setting applies to both IKE and IPSec SAs. When con-

 

figuring the remote endpoint to match this setting, you may

 

have to specify the "Key Group" used. For this device, the

 

"Key Group" is the same as the "DH Group" setting in the IKE

 

section.
