Chapter 15 IPSec VPN

 

Table 70 Security > VPN > General > Rule Setup: Manual (continued)

 

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Secure

Type the WAN IP address or the domain name (up to 31 characters) of

 

 

Gateway

the IPSec router with which you're making the VPN connection. Set this

 

 

Address

field to 0.0.0.0 if the remote IPSec router has a dynamic WAN IP

 

 

 

address (the IPSec Keying Mode field must be set to IKE).

 

 

 

In order to have more than one active rule with the Secure Gateway

 

 

 

Address field set to 0.0.0.0, the ranges of the local IP addresses

 

 

 

cannot overlap between rules.

 

 

 

If you configure an active rule with 0.0.0.0 in the Secure Gateway

 

 

 

Address field and the LAN’s full IP address range as the local IP

 

 

 

address, then you cannot configure any other active rules with the

 

 

 

Secure Gateway Address field set to 0.0.0.0.

 

 

 

Note: You can also enter a remote secure gateway’s domain name

 

 

 

in the Secure Gateway Address field if the remote secure

 

 

 

gateway has a dynamic WAN IP address and is using DDNS.

 

 

 

The NBG-460N has to rebuild the VPN tunnel each time the

 

 

 

remote secure gateway’s WAN IP address changes (there

 

 

 

may be a delay until the DDNS servers are updated with the

 

 

 

remote gateway’s new WAN IP address).

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPI

Type a unique SPI (Security Parameter Index) from one to four

 

 

 

characters long. Valid Characters are "0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9".

 

 

 

 

 

 

Encapsulation

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

 

 

Mode

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable Replay

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

 

 

Detection

Denial of Service (DoS) attacks The IPSec receiver can detect and reject

 

 

 

old or duplicate packets to protect against replay attacks. Select Yes

 

 

 

from the drop-down menu to enable replay detection, or select No to

 

 

 

disable it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IPSec Protocol

Select the security protocols used for an SA.

 

 

 

Both AH and ESP increase processing requirements and

 

 

 

communications latency (delay).

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

Algorithm and Authentication Algorithm fields (described below).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Encryption

Select which key size and encryption algorithm to use in the IKE SA.

 

 

Algorithm

Choices are:

 

 

 

DES - a 56-bit key with the DES encryption algorithm

 

 

 

3DES - a 168-bit key with the DES encryption algorithm

 

 

 

The NBG-460N and the remote IPSec router must use the same

 

 

 

algorithms and keys. Longer keys require more processing power,

 

 

 

resulting in increased latency and decreased throughput.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Encryption Key

This field is applicable when you select ESP in the IPSec Protocol field

 

 

 

above.

 

 

 

With DES, type a unique key 8 characters long. With 3DES, type a

 

 

 

unique key 24 characters long. Any characters may be used, including

 

 

 

spaces, but trailing spaces are truncated.
