Switch Security 6-41

6.If the properties of an existing policy are no longer relevant and cannot be edited to be useful, click the Add button to define a new policy.

a. Configure a set of attributes for the new IKE policy:

Priority

Define the priority for the IKE policy. The available range is from 1 to 65,543, with 1 being

 

the highest priority value.

Encryption

Set the encryption method used to protect the data transmitted between peers. Options

 

include:

 

DES. 56-bit DES-CBC is less secure but faster than the alternatives. The default value.

 

3DES - 168-bit Triple DES.

 

AES - 128-bit AES.

 

AES 192 - 192-bit AES.

 

AES 256 - 256-bit AES.

Hash Value

Define the hash algorithm used to ensure data integrity. The hash value validates a packet

 

comes from its intended destination, and has not been modified in transit. Options include:

 

SHA - The default value.

 

MD5 - MD5 has a smaller digest and is somewhat faster than SHA-1.

Authentication Type

Set the authentication scheme used to validate the identity of each peer. Pre-shared keys do

 

not scale accurately with a growing network but are easier to maintain in a small network.

 

Options include:

 

Pre-shared Key - Uses pre-shared keys.

 

RSA Signature- Uses a digital certificate with keys generated by the RSA signatures

 

 

algorithm.

SA Lifetime

Define an integer for the SA lifetime. The default is 60 seconds. With longer lifetimes,

 

security defines future IPSec security associations quickly. Encryption strength is great

 

enough to ensure security without using fast rekey times. Motorola recommends using the

 

default value.

DH Group

Set the Diffie-Hellman group identifier. IPSec peers use the defined value to derive a shared

 

secret without transmitting it to one another.
