can choose between several groups that work with Diie Hellman keys. For example, Group 1 has an en‑
cryption of 768 bits, Group2 has 1024 bits and Group 5 uses 1536 bit, etc.
2. You can enter the validity period of the SA (Security Association) under “IPsec SA Lifetime”. A Security
Association groups IP packets together based on an SPI (Security Parameter Index), the IP destination ad‑
dress and the Security Protocol Identifier. An SA is only valid for ONE directionat a time, so there are always
two SAs in use.
3. With “IPsec SA Idletime” you specify whether SAs associated with inactive peers can be deleted before the
global lifetime has expired. The 0 means that the function is disabled.

6. Under “ICMP Detection Local IP”, enter the router interface IP of the local subnet.
7. Under “ICMP Detection Interval”, specify the interval at which the ICMP packet is to be sent.
8. “ICMP Detection Timeout” is the timer aer which the ICMP packet is discarded. Enter a value here be‑
tween 1 and 60 sec.
9. “ICMP Detection Max Retries” are the maximum attempts aer a failed ICMP ping, which you can enter
here.
