distinguish different incoming SAs and you can select between different encryption algorithms, 
authentication algorithms and key groups when you configure a VPN rule. The ID type and content 
act as an extra level of identification for incoming SAs.
The type of ID can be a domain name, an IP address or an e-mail address. The content is the IP 
address, domain name, or e-mail address. 
13.3.7.1  ID Type and Content Examples
Two IPSec routers must have matching ID type and content configuration in order to set up a VPN 
tunnel. 
The two LTE Devices in this example can complete negotiation and establish a VPN tunnel.
The two LTE Devices in this example cannot complete their negotiation because LTE Device B’s 
Local ID type is IP, but LTE Device A’s Remote ID type is set to E-mail. An “ID mismatched” 
message displays in the IPSEC LOG. 
13.3.8  Pre-Shared Key
A pre-shared key identifies a communicating party during a phase 1 IKE negotiation (see 
 for more on IKE phases). It is called “pre-shared” because you have to share it 
with another party before you can communicate with them over a secure connection.

Device.
The domain name or e-mail address that you use in the Local ID Content field 
is used for identification purposes only and does not need to be a real domain 
name or e-mail address.
