P-202H Plus v2 User's Guide Table 102 Menu 27.1.1.1 IKE Setup FIELD DESCRIPTION SA Life Time (Seconds) Define the length of time before an IKE Security automatically renegotiates in this field. It may range from 60 to 3,000,000 seconds (almost 35 days). A short SA Life Time increases security by forcing the two VPN gateways to update the encryption and authentication keys. However, every time the VPN tunnel renegotiates, all users accessing remote resources are temporarily disconnected. Key Group You must choose a key group for phase 1 IKE setup. DH1 (default) refers to DiffieHellman Group 1 a 768 bit random number. DH2 refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 2 a 1024 bit (1Kb) random number. Phase 2 Active Protocol Press [SPACE BAR] to choose from ESP or AH and then press [ENTER]. See earlier for a discussion of these protocols. Encryption Algorithm Press [SPACE BAR] to choose from NULL, 3DES or DES and then press [ENTER]. Select NULL to set up a tunnel without encryption. Authentication Press [SPACE BAR] to choose from SHA1 or MD5 and then press [ENTER]. Algorithm SA Life Time (Seconds) Define the length of time before an IPSec Security automatically renegotiates in this field. It may range from 60 to 3,000,000 seconds (almost 35 days). Encapsulation Press [SPACE BAR] to choose from Tunnel mode or Transport mode and then press [ENTER]. See earlier for a discussion of these. Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) is disabled (None) by default in phase 2 IPSec SA setup. This allows faster IPSec setup, but is not so secure. Press [SPACE BAR] and choose from DH1 or DH2 to enable PFS. DH1 refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 1 a 768 bit random number. DH2 refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 2 a 1024 bit (1Kb) random number (more secure, yet slower). When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt "Press ENTER to Confirm..." to save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel. 33.5 Manual Setup You only configure Menu 27.1.1.2 - Manual Setup when you select Manual in the Key Management field in Menu 27.1.1 - IPSec Setup. Manual key management is useful if you have problems with IKE key management. 33.5.1 Active Protocol This field is a combination of mode and security protocols used for the VPN.

Chapter 33 VPN/IPSec Setup
308
33.5
Manual Setup
You only configure
Menu 27.1.1.2 – Manual Setup
when you select
Manual
in the
Key
Management
field in
Menu 27.1.1 – IPSec Setup
. Manual key management is useful if you
have problems with
IKE
key management.
33.5.1
Active Protocol
This field is a combination of mode and security protocols used for the VPN. See the Web
Configurator part on VPN for more information on these parameters.
SA Life Time
(Seconds)
Define the length of time before an IKE Security
automatically renegotiates in this
field. It
may range from 60 to 3,000,000 seconds (almost 35 days).
A short
SA Life Time
increases security by forcing the two VPN gateways to update
the encryption and authentication keys. However, every time the VPN tunnel
renegotiates, all users accessing remote resources are temporarily disconnected.
Key Group
You must choose a key group for phase 1 IKE setup.
DH1
(default)
refers to Diffie-
Hellman Group 1 a 768 bit random number.
DH2
refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 2 a
1024 bit (1Kb) random number.
Phase 2
Active Protocol
Press [SPACE BAR] to choose from
ESP
or
AH
and then press [ENTER]. See
earlier for a discussion of these protocols.
Encryption
Algorithm
Press [SPACE BAR] to choose from
NULL
,
3DES
or
DES
and then press [ENTER].
Select
NULL
to set up a tunnel without encryption.
Authentication
Algorithm
Press [SPACE BAR] to choose from
SHA1
or
MD5
and then press [ENTER].
SA Life Time
(Seconds)
Define the length of time before an IPSec Security
automatically renegotiates in this
field. It
may range from 60 to 3,000,000 seconds (almost 35 days).
Encapsulation
Press [SPACE BAR] to choose from
Tunnel
mode
or
Transport
mode and then
press [ENTER]. See earlier for a discussion of these.
Perfect Forward
Secrecy (PFS)
Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) is disabled (
None
) by default in phase 2 IPSec SA
setup. This allows faster IPSec setup, but is not so secure. Press [SPACE BAR] and
choose from
DH1
or
DH2
to enable PFS.
DH1
refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 1 a 768
bit random number.
DH2
refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 2 a 1024 bit (1Kb) random
number (more secure, yet slower).
When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to Confirm…” to
save your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
