FVS114 Scenario 2: FVS114 to FVS114 with RSA Certificates
The following is a typical gateway-to-gateway VPN that uses Public Key Infrastructure x.509
(PKIX) certificates for authentication. The network setup is identical to the one given in
Scenario 1. The IKE Phase 1 and Phase 2 parameters are identical to the ones given in Scenario 1,
with the exception that the identification is done with signatures authenticated by PKIX
certificates.
Note
: Before completing this configuration scenario, make sure the correct Time Zone is set on the
FVS114. For instructions on this topic, see
“Time Zone” on page 4-14
.
1.
