3.5.1 Peer Profiles Page
Peer Profiles
page layout
The Peer Profiles page bundles all parameters that define a Peer.
A number of parameters makes use of symbolic descriptors that are defined and 
managed on other sub-pages. On the Profiles page, these descriptors are selected 
by their symbolic name from a list. Therefore, you need to prepare the descriptors 
in other Peers sub-pages, before a complete Peer Profile can be composed in the 
Peer Profiles page.
Peer name
Give the peer a symbolic name. This name only has local significance inside the 
SpeedTouch™. This parameter is not used in the IKE negotiations with the remote 
Security Gateway.
Remote address
This address localizes the remote Security Gateway in the IP network. Either the 
public IP address or the Fully Qualified Domain Name can be used as an identifier.
Backup remote address
When a redundant remote Security Gateway is available, its public IP address or 
domain name can be specified here. In a basic IPSec configuration, you leave this 
field open.
