Field

 

Description

 

 

 

General

 

These settings identify this policy and determine its major characteristics.

 

 

 

Policy Name

 

The descriptive name of the VPN 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 VPN policies.

 

 

 

IKE Policy

 

The existing IKE policies are presented in a drop-down list.

 

 

Note: Create the IKE policy BEFORE creating a VPN - Auto policy.

Remote VPN Endpoint

The address used to locate the remote VPN firewall or client to which you

 

 

wish to connect. The remote VPN endpoint must have this FVS114’s Local

 

 

IP values entered as its Remote VPN Endpoint.

 

 

• By its Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) — your domain name.

 

 

• By its IP Address.

 

 

 

Address Type

 

The address type used to locate the remote VPN firewall or client to which

 

 

you wish to connect.

 

 

• By its Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) — your domain name.

 

 

• By its IP Address.

Address Data

 

The address used to locate the remote VPN firewall or client to which you

 

 

wish to connect. The remote VPN endpoint must have this FVS114’s Local

 

 

Identity Data entered as its Remote VPN Endpoint.

 

 

• By its Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) — your domain name.

 

 

• By its IP Address.

SA Life Time

 

The duration of the Security Association before it expires.

 

 

• Seconds — the amount of time before the SA expires. Over an hour is

 

 

common (3600).

 

 

• Kbytes — the amount of traffic before the SA expires.

 

 

One of these can be set without setting the other.

IPSec PFS

 

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

 

 

regular intervals. Also, even if one key is broken, subsequent keys are no

 

 

easier to break. Each key has no relationship to the previous key.

 

 

PFS Key Group

If PFS is enabled, this setting determines the DH group bit size used in the

 

 

key exchange. This must match the value used on the remote gateway.
