ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N

Table 54. Add New VPN Policy screen settings for IPv4 and IPv6 (continued)

Setting	Description
Key-Out	The encryption key for the outbound policy. The length of the key depends on
	the selected encryption algorithm:
	• 3DES. Enter 24 characters.
	• None. Key does not apply.
	• DES. Enter 8 characters.
	• AES-128. Enter 16 characters.
	• AES-192. Enter 24 characters.
	• AES-256. Enter 32 characters.
SPI-Outgoing	The Security Parameters Index (SPI) for the outbound policy. Enter a
	hexadecimal value between 3 and 8 characters (for example, 0x1234).
Integrity Algorithm	From the drop-down list, select one of the following two algorithms to be used in
	the VPN header for the authentication process:
	• SHA-1. Hash algorithm that produces a 160-bit digest. This is the default
	setting.
	• MD5. Hash algorithm that produces a 128-bit digest.
Key-In	The integrity key for the inbound policy. The length of the key depends on the
	selected integrity algorithm:
	• MD5. Enter 16 characters.
	• SHA-1. Enter 20 characters.
Key-Out	The integrity key for the outbound policy. The length of the key depends on the
	selected integrity algorithm:
	• MD5. Enter 16 characters.
	• SHA-1. Enter 20 characters.
Auto Policy Parameters
Note: These fields apply only when you select Auto Policy as the policy type.
SA Lifetime	The lifetime of the security association (SA) is the period or the amount of
	transmitted data after which the SA becomes invalid and needs to be
	renegotiated. From the drop-down list, select how the SA lifetime is specified:
	• Seconds. In the SA Lifetime field, enter a period in seconds. The minimum
	value is 300 seconds. The default setting is 3600 seconds.
	• KBytes. In the SA Lifetime field, enter a number of kilobytes. The minimum
	value is 1920000 KB.
Encryption Algorithm	From the drop-down list, select one of the following five algorithms to negotiate
	the security association (SA):
	• 3DES. Triple DES. This is the default algorithm.
	• None. No encryption algorithm.
	• DES. Data Encryption Standard (DES).
	• AES-128. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 128-bit key size.
	• AES-192. AES with a 192-bit key size.
	• AES-256. AES with a 256-bit key size.
