IPSec PFS If enabled, security is enhanced by ensuring that the key is changed at
regular intervals. Also, even if one key is broken, subsequent keys are no
easier to break. Each key has no relationship to the previous key.
PFS Key Group If PFS is enabled, this setting determines the DH group bit size used in the
key exchange. This must match the value used on the remote gateway.
