DESCRIPTION

 

 

Peer Content

The configuration of the peer content depends on the peer ID type.

 

For IP, type the IP address of the computer with which you will make the

 

VPN connection. If you configure this field to 0.0.0.0 or leave it blank, the

 

Prestige will use the address in the Secure Gateway Address field (refer

 

to the Secure Gateway Address field description).

 

For DNS or E-mail, type a domain name or e-mail address by which to

 

identify the remote IPSec router. Use up to 31 ASCII characters including

 

spaces, although trailing spaces are truncated. The domain name or e-mail

 

address is for identification purposes only and can be any string.

 

It is recommended that you type an IP address other than 0.0.0.0 or use the DNS or

 

E-mailID type in the following situations:

 

When there is a NAT router between the two IPSec routers.

 

When you want the Prestige to distinguish between VPN connection

 

requests that come in from remote IPSec routers with dynamic WAN IP

 

addresses.

Encapsulation

Select Tunnel mode or Transport mode from the drop-down list box.

Mode

 

 

 

IPSec Protocol

Select ESP if you want to use ESP (Encapsulation Security Payload). The ESP

 

protocol (RFC 2406) provides encryption as well as some of the services offered by

 

AH. If you select ESP here, you must select options from the Encryption

 

Algorithm and Authentication Algorithm fields (described next).

 

Select AH if you want to use AH (Authentication Header Protocol). The AH protocol

 

(RFC 2402) was designed for integrity, authentication, sequence integrity (replay

 

resistance), and non-repudiation but not for confidentiality, for which the ESP was

 

designed. If you select AH here, you must select options from the Authentication

 

Algorithm field (described later).
