FVL328 Scenario 2: Authenticating 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
FVL328. For instructions on this topic, please see,
1. Obtain a root certificate.
Obtain the root certificate (which includes the CA's public key) from a Certificate
