If you selected Secure in the Connection Security group, is your network protected by a 
secure IPSec-compliant gateway, such as a firewall or router?

•

If it is, go to Configure a gateway.

•

If it is not, continue with the next step.

b.

The Connection Security setting determines your next step:

•

If you selected Secure, Configure My Identity for this connection.

•

If you selected Non-secure or Block, you can add and configure connections.

You can create and configure multiple connections for your security policy. 

Before you can configure a connection, make sure that you have identification information for the 
remote party, such as network IP address, domain name, or email address. If the remote party (user 
or network) is protected by a secure IPSec-compliant gateway device, obtain that gateway's IP 
address, too.
