TP-Link TL-ER6020 manual IPsec SA,  List of IPsec Proposal

ESP Authentication: Select the algorithm used to verify the integrity of the data for ESP authentication. Options include:

MD5: MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm) takes a message of arbitrary length and generates a 128-bit message digest.

SHA: SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) takes a message less than the 64th power of 2 in bits and generates a 160-bit message digest.

ESP Encryption: Select the algorithm used to encrypt the data for ESP encryption. Options include:

NONE: Performs no encryption.

DES: DES (Data Encryption Standard) encrypts a 64-bit block of plain text with a 56-bit key. The key should be 8 characters.

3DES: Triple DES, encrypts a plain text with 168-bit key. The key should be 24 characters.

AES128: Uses the AES algorithm and 128-bit key for encryption. The key should be 16 characters.

Figure 3-62 IPsec SA

Figure 3-62displays the connection status of the NO.1 entry in the List of IPsec policy in Figure 3-60.As shown in the figure, the Router is using WAN2 for tunnel connection, and the IP address of WAN2 and the default gateway of remote peer are 172.30.70.151 and 172.30.70.161 respectively. Security protocol and other parameters for IPsec tunnel and the remote router should be configured the same.

As Security Association is unidirectional, an ingoing SA and an outgoing SA are created to protect data flows for each tunnel after IPsec tunnel is successfully established. The ingoing SPI value and
