Mode If using IKEv1, use the drop-down menu to define the IKE mode as either Main or
Aggressive. IPSEC has two modes in IKEv1 for key exchanges. Aggressive mode
requires 3 messages be exchanged between the IPSEC peers to setup the SA, Main
requires 6 messages. The default setting is Main.
DPD Retries Use the spinner control to set the maximum number of keep alive messages sent before
a VPN tunnel connection is defined as dead. The available range is from 1 - 100. The
default setting is 5.
IKE LifeTime Set the lifetime defining how long a connection (encryption/authentication keys) should
last from successful key negotiation to expiration. Set this value in either Seconds (600
- 86,400), Minutes (10 - 1,440), Hours (1 - 24) or Days (1). This setting is required for both
IKEv1 and IKEV2.
Name If creating a new IKE policy, assign the target peer (tunnel destination) a 32 character
maximum name to distinguish it from others with a similar configuration.
DH Group Use the drop-down menu to define a Diffie-Hellman (DH) identifier used by the VPN
peers to derive a shared secret password without having to transmit. DH groups
determine the strength of the key used in key exchanges. The higher the group number,
the stronger and more secure the key. Options include 2, 5 and 14. The default setting
is 5.
Encryption Select an encryption method used by the tunnelled peers to securely interoperate.
Options include 3DES, AES, AES-192 and AES-256. The default setting is AES-256.
Authentication Select an authentication hash algorithm used by the peers to exchange credential
information. Options include SHA and MD5. The default setting is SHA.
