Remote Network 
If the Remote Network field is configured to Single, enter a (static) IP address on the network behind the remote IPSec 
router. If the Remote Network field is configured to Range IP, enter the beginning and end (static) IP address, in a range of 
computers on the network behind the remote IPSec router. If the Remote Network field is configured to Subnet, enter a 
(static) IP address and subnet mask on the network behind the remote IPSec router. 
3.  Use the third wizard screen to configure IKE (Internet Key Exchange) tunnel settings. 
Negotiation Mode 
Select Main Mode or Aggressive Mode
Multiple SAs connecting through a secure 
gateway must have the same negotiation 
mode. 
 
Encryption Algorithm 
Select the method of data encryption using a 
private (secret) key. 
The DES encryption algorithm uses a 56-bit 
key. Triple DES (3DES) is a variation on 
DES that uses a 168-bit key. As a result, 
3DES is more secure than DES. It also 
requires more processing power, resulting in 
increased latency and decreased throughput.  
This implementation of AES uses a 128-bit 
key. AES is faster than 3DES
Authentication Algorithm 
MD5
 (Message Digest 5) and SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) are hash algorithms used to authenticate packet data. Select 
MD5 for minimal security and SHA-1 for maximum security. 
Key Group 
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. 
SA Life Time (Seconds) 
Define the length of time before an IKE SA automatically renegotiates in this field. The minimum value is 180 seconds. 
Pre-Shared Key 
Type from 8 to 31 case-sensitive ASCII characters or from 16 to 62 hexadecimal ("0-9", "A-F") characters. You must 
precede a hexadecimal key with a "0x” (zero x), which is not counted as part of the 16 to 62 character range for the key.
