LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Active

Select this check box to activate this VPN tunnel. This option determines whether

 

a VPN rule is applied before a packet leaves the firewall.

Keep Alive

Select this check box to have the Prestige automatically re-initiate the SA after

 

the SA lifetime times out, even if there is no traffic. The remote IPSec router must

 

also have keep alive enabled in order for this feature to work.

NAT Traversal

Select this check box to enable NAT traversal. NAT traversal allows you to set up

 

a VPN connection when there are NAT routers between the two IPSec routers.

 

The remote IPSec router must also have NAT traversal enabled.

 

You can use NAT traversal with ESP protocol using Transport or Tunnel mode,

 

but not with AH protocol nor with manual key management. In order for an IPSec

 

router behind a NAT router to receive an initiating IPSec packet, set the NAT

 

router to forward UDP port 500 to the IPSec router behind the NAT router.
