IKE Pre-shared Keys
This screen allows you to configure IKE PSKs (pre-shared keys) used to negotiate with the
IKE peers with which the switch communicates over IPv6.
The same pre-shared key must be set for both peers. For example, if communicating between
two hosts fe80::1 and fe80::2 with a pre-shared key “secret”, fe80::1 must have “secret” set as
the pre-shared key for peer fe80::2, and fe80::2 must have “secret” set as the pre-shared key
for peer fe80::1.
• Peer Identifier: The identifier of the peer with which this pre-shared key should be used. Typically
this will be the peer’s address.
• Set Key: The value to set the pre-shared key to. If left blank, the current value will be preserved.
• Delete: Mark this pre-shared key for removal when changes are committed.
Warning: Misconfiguration on this screen may block network access to the Switch’s configuration
interface.
