The IKE Policies Screen
When you use the VPN Wizard to set up a VPN tunnel, an IKE Policy is established and populated
in the List of IKE Policies table on the IKE Policies screen and is given the same name as the new
VPN connection name. You can also edit exiting policies or add new IKE policies directly on the
IKE Policies screen.
To view the IKE Policies screen, select VPN from the main menu and Policies from the submenu.
The IKE Policies screen will display.
Figure 5-20
Each policy that is listed in the List of IKE Policies table contains the following data:
• Name. Uniquely identifies each IKE policy. The name is chosen by you and used for the
purpose of managing your policies; it is not supplied to the remote VPN Server.
• Mode. Two modes are available: either "Main" or "Aggressive".
– Main Mode is slower but more secure.
– Aggressive mode is faster but less secure. (If specifying either a FQDN or a User FQDN
name as the Local ID/Remote ID, aggressive mode is automatically selected.)
• Local ID. The IKE/ISAKMP identifier of this device. (The remote VPN must have this value
as their "Remote ID".)
• Remote ID. The IKE/ISAKMP identifier of the remote VPN gateway. (The remote VPN must
have this value as their "Local ID".)
• Encr. Encryption Algorithm used for the IKE SA. The default setting using the VPN Wizard is
3DES. (This setting must match the remote VPN.)
