Options include: z MD5: MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm) takes a message of arbitrary length and generates a 128-bit message digest. z SHA1: SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) takes a message less than 2^64 (the 64th power of 2) in bits and generates a 160-bit message digest. ¾ Encryption: The encryption algorithm for IKE negotiation. Options include: z DES: DES (Data Encryption Standard) encrypts a 64-bit block of plain text with a 56-bit key. z 3DES: Triple DES, encrypts a plain text with 168-bit key. z AES128: Uses the AES algorithm and 128-bit key for encryption. z AES192: Uses the AES algorithm and 192-bit key for encryption. z AES256: Uses the AES algorithm and 256-bit key for encryption. ¾ DH Group: The DH (Diffie-Hellman) group to be used in key negotiation phase 1. The DH Group sets the strength of the algorithm in bits. Options include DH1, DH2 and DH5. z DH1: 768 bits z DH2: 1024 bits 43

Policy Name:
The unique name to the IKE policy for identification and management
purposes.
¾
Exchange Mode:
Displays the IKE Exchange Mode in phase 1, and the remote VPN peer
uses the same mode.
z
Main: Main mode provides identity protection and exchanges more information,
which applies to the scenarios with higher requirement for identity protection.
z
Aggressive: Aggressive Mode establishes a faster connection but with lower
security, which applies to scenarios with lower requirement for identity protection.
¾
Authentication:
The authentication algorithm for IKE negotiation. Options include:
z
