To access the Secure IP Association settings you must first select an IPsec protocol.
Protocol
The IPsec protocol defines the method of encryption and authentication to use through the IPsec
tunnel. You can choose between two modes: DES-MD5-96 or 3DES-MD596. Encoding is
provided by DES (Data Encryption Standard), a secret key cryptography method. DES uses a 56-
bit key, while 3DES (tripleDES) uses a 168-bit key.
Authentication is provided by MD5 (Message Digest 5). The message digest allows the receiver
of a packet to ensure that a packet has not been altered enroute from the sender. MD5 is described
in RFC1321.
Choose IPsec Tunnel #1 or IPsec Tunnel #2 from the Security Settings submenu.
The Secure IP Association #1 or #2 sub-menu appears, as shown below.
