Key Management 
Key – Key Type: there are two key types (manual key and auto key) 
available for the key exchange management.  
Manual Key: If manual key is selected, no key negotiation is needed.  
AutoKey (IKE)- There are two types of operation modes can be used. 
Main mode accomplishes a phase one IKE exchange by establishing a 
secure channel. Aggressive Mode is another way of accomplishing a 
phase one exchange. It is faster and simpler than main mode, but does 
not provide identity protection for the negotiating nodes. 
Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) – If PFS is enable, IKE phase 2 
negotiation will generate a new key material for IP traffic encryption & 
authentication. Preshared Key – This field is to authenticate the remote 
IKE peer. Key Lifetime- This is specified the lifetime of the IKE 
generated Key. If the time expires or data is passed over this volumn, a 
new key will be renegotiated, By default, 0 is for no limit.
