LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Active

Select this check box to activate this VPN policy.

 

 

 

Select this check box to turn on the Keep Alive feature for this SA.

Keep Alive

Turn on Keep Alive to have the Prestige automatically reinitiate 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.

 

 

 

The advanced configuration page is only available with the IKE IPSec keying

 

mode.

IPSec Keying Mode

Click the Basic button below in order to be able to choose the Manual IPSec

 

keying mode.

 

Make sure the remote gateway has the same configuration in this field.

 

 

Protocol Number

Enter 1 for ICMP, 6 for TCP, 17 for UDP, etc. 0 is the default and signifies any

protocol.

 

 

 

Enable Replay

As a VPN setup is processing intensive, the system is vulnerable to Denial of

Service (DOS) attacks The IPSec receiver can detect and reject old or duplicate

Detection

packets to protect against replay attacks. Enable replay detection by setting this

 

field to Yes.

 

The local IP address must be static and correspond to the remote IPSec router's

 

configured remote IP addresses.

Local Address

Two active SAs can have the same local or remote IP address, but not both. You

 

can configure multiple SAs between the same local and remote IP addresses, as

 

long as only one is active at any time.

 

0 is the default and signifies any port. Type a port number from 0 to 65535.

Local Port Start

Some of the most common IP ports are: 21, FTP; 53, DNS; 23, Telnet; 80,

 

HTTP; 25, SMTP; 110, POP3
