Table 6-1. IKE Policy Configuration fields

Field Description
General These settings identify this policy and determine its major characteristics.
Policy Name The descriptive name of the IKE policy. Each policy should have a unique
policy name. This name is not supplied to the remote VPN endpoint. It is
only used to help you identify IKE policies.
Direction/Type This setting is used when determining if the IKE policy matches the current
traffic. The drop-down menu includes the following:
• Initiator — Outgoing connecti ons are all owed, but incoming are blocked.
• Responde r — Incoming connections are allowed, but outgoing are
blocked.
• Both Directions — Both outgoing and incoming connections are allowed.
• Remote Access — This is to allow only in coming clie nt connections,
where the IP address of the remote client is unknown.
If Remote Access is selected, the Exchange Mode must be Aggressive,
and the Identities below (both Local and Remote) must be Name. On the
matching VPN Policy, the IP address of the remote VPN endpoint should
be set to 0.0.0.0.
Exchange Mode Main Mode or Aggressive Mode. This setting must match the setting used
on the remote VPN endpoint.
• Main Mode is slower but more secure. Also, the Identity below must be
established by IP address.
• Aggressive Mode is faster but less secure. The Identity below can be by
name (host name, domain name, and e-mail address) instead of by IP
address.
Local These parameters apply to the Local FVS114 VPN Firewall.

• By a F ully Qualified User Name — your name, E-mail address, or
other ID.
• By DER ASN.1 DN — the binary DER encoding of your ASN.1 X.500
Distinguished Name.
