FIELD

DESCRIPTION

 

 

#

This is the security association index number.

 

 

Name

This field displays the identification name for this VPN policy. This name is unique for

 

each connection where the secure gateway IP address is a public static IP address.

 

When the secure gateway IP address is 0.0.0.0 (as discussed in the last chapter), there

 

may be different connections using this same VPN rule. In this case, the name is

 

followed by the remote IP address as configured in Menu 27.1.1. – IPSec Setup.

 

Individual connections using the same VPN rule may be terminated without affecting

 

other connections using the same rule.

Encap.

This field displays Tunnel mode or Transport mode. See previous for discussion.

 

 

IPSec

This field displays the security protocols used for an SA. ESP provides confidentiality

Algorithm

and integrity of data by encrypting the data and encapsulating it into IP packets.

 

Encryption methods include 56-bit DES and 168-bit 3DES. NULL denotes a tunnel

 

without encryption.

 

An incoming SA may have an AH in addition to ESP. The Authentication Header

 

provides strong integrity and authentication by adding authentication information to IP

 

packets. This authentication information is calculated using header and payload data in

 

the IP packet. This provides an additional level of security. AH choices are MD5 (default

 

- 128 bits) and SHA -1(160 bits).

 

Both AH and ESP increase Prestige processing requirements and communications

 

latency (delay).
