- AES-128—16 characters 
- AES-192—24 characters 
- AES-256—32 characters
- AES-CCM—16 characters 
- AES-GCM—20 characters 
• Key-Out—Enter the encryption key of the outbound policy. The length of the 
key depends on the algorithm chosen, as shown above. 
• Integrity Algorithm—Select the algorithm used to verify the integrity of the 
data. 
• Key-In—Enter the integrity key (for ESP with Integrity-mode) for the inbound 
policy. The length of the key depends on the algorithm chosen: 
- MD5—16 characters 
- SHA-1— 20 characters 
- SHA2-256—32 characters 
- SHA2-384— 48 characters 
- SHA2-512—64 characters 
• Key-Out—Enter the integrity key (for ESP with Integrity-mode) for the 
outbound policy. The length of the key depends on the algorithm chosen, as 
shown above. 
STEP  5 For an Auto policy type, enter the settings in the Auto Policy Parameters section.
• SA-Lifetime—Enter the duration of the Security Association and choose the 
unit from the drop-down list:
- Seconds—Choose this option to measure the SA Lifetime in seconds. 
After the specified number of seconds passes, the Security Association 
is renegotiated. The default value is 3600 seconds. The minimum value is 
300 seconds.
- Kbytes—Choose this option to measure the SA Lifetime in kilobytes. 
After the specified number of kilobytes of data is transferred, the SA is 
renegotiated. The minimum value is 1920000 KB.
- When configuring a lifetime in kilobytes (also known as lifebytes), be 
aware that two SAs are created for each policy. One SA applies to 
inbound traffic, and one SA applies to outbound traffic. Due to differences
