Chapter 8 Security Table 60 IPSec VPN: Add (continued) LABEL Remote ID Type DESCRIPTION Select IP to identify the remote IPSec router by its IP address. Select Domain Name to identify the remote IPSec router by a domain name. Content Select E-mail to identify the remote IPSec router by an e-mail address. The configuration of the remote content depends on the remote ID type. For IP, type the IP address of the computer with which you will make the VPN connection. If you configure this field to 0.0.0.0 or leave it blank, the WiMAX Device will use the address in the Remote Endpoint field (refer to the Remote Endpoint field description). For Domain Name or E-mail, type a domain name or e-mail address by which to identify the remote IPSec router. Use up to 31 ASCII characters including spaces, although trailing spaces are truncated. The domain name or e-mail address is for identification purposes only and can be any string. It is recommended that you type an IP address other than 0.0.0.0 or use the Domain Name or E-mail ID type in the following situations: IKE Phase 1 Proposal # Encryption • When there is a NAT router between the two IPSec routers. • When you want the WiMAX Device to distinguish between VPN connection requests that come in from remote IPSec routers with dynamic WAN IP addresses. This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with a specific proposal. The sequence of proposals should not affect performance significantly. Select which key size and encryption algorithm to use in the IKE SA. Choices are: • DES - a 56-bit key with the DES encryption algorithm • 3DES - a 168-bit key with the DES encryption algorithm • AES128 - a 128-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm • AES192 - a 192-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm • AES256 - a 256-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm The WiMAX Device and the remote IPSec router must use the same key size and encryption algorithm.

Remote ID
Type
Select
IP
to identify the remote IPSec router by its IP address.
Select
Domain Name
to identify the remote IPSec router by a domain name.
Select
E-mail
to identify the remote IPSec router by an e-mail address.
Content
The configuration of the remote content depends on the remote ID type.
For
IP
, type the IP address of the computer with which you will make the VPN
connection. If you configure this field to 0.0.0.0 or leave it blank, the WiMAX
Device will use the address in the
Remote Endpoint
field (refer to the
Remote
Endpoint
field description).
For
Domain Name
or
E-mail
, type a domain name or e-mail address by which
to identify the remote IPSec router. Use up to 31 ASCII characters including
spaces, although trailing spaces are truncated. The domain name or e-mail
address is for identification purposes only and can be any string.
It is recommended that you type an IP address other than 0.0.0.0 or use the
Domain Name
or
E-mail
ID type in the following situations:
When there is a NAT router between the two IPSec routers.
When you want the WiMAX Device to distinguish between VPN connection
requests that come in from remote IPSec routers with dynamic WAN IP
addresses.
IKE Phase 1
Proposal
#
This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with a specific proposal.
The sequence of proposals should not affect performance significantly.
Encryption
Select which key size and encryption algorithm to use in the IKE SA. Choices
are:
DES
- a 56-bit key with the DES encryption algorithm
3DES
- a 168-bit key with the DES encryption algorithm
AES128
- a 128-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm
AES192
- a 192-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm
AES256
- a 256-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm
The WiMAX Device and the remote IPSec router must use the same key size and
encryption algorithm. Longer keys require more processing power, resulting in
increased latency and decreased throughput.
Authentication
Select which hash algorithm to use to authenticate packet data. Choices are
SHA1
and
MD5
.
SHA1
is generally considered stronger than
MD5
, but it is also
slower.
Remove
Select an entry and click this to delete it.
Add
Click this to create a new entry.
OK
Click this to save the changes.
Key Group
Select which Diffie-Hellman key group (DHx) you want to use for encryption
keys. Choices are:
DH1
- use a 768-bit random number
DH2
- use a 1024-bit random number
DH5
- use a 1536-bit random number
The longer the key, the more secure the encryption, but also the longer it takes
to encrypt and decrypt information. Both routers must use the same DH key
group.
