12.12 IKE Phases
There are two phases to every IKE (Internet Key Exchange) negotiation – phase 1
(Authentication) and phase 2 (Key Exchange). A phase 1 exchange establishes an IKE SA and
the second one uses that SA to negotiate SAs for IPSec.
(Authentication) and phase 2 (Key Exchange). A phase 1 exchange establishes an IKE SA and
the second one uses that SA to negotiate SAs for IPSec.
Figure 109 Two Phases to Set Up the IPSec SA
In phase 1 you must:
• Choose a negotiation mode.
• Authenticate the connection by entering a pre-shared key.
• Choose an encryption algorithm.
• Choose an authentication algorithm.
• Choose a Diffie-Hellman public-key cryptography key group (DH1 or DH2).
• Set the IKE SA lifetime. This field allows you to determine how long an IKE SA should
• Authenticate the connection by entering a pre-shared key.
• Choose an encryption algorithm.
• Choose an authentication algorithm.
• Choose a Diffie-Hellman public-key cryptography key group (DH1 or DH2).
• Set the IKE SA lifetime. This field allows you to determine how long an IKE SA should
stay up before it times out. An IKE SA times out when the IKE SA lifetime period expires.
If an IKE SA times out when an IPSec SA is already established, the IPSec SA stays
connected.
If an IKE SA times out when an IPSec SA is already established, the IPSec SA stays
connected.
In phase 2 you must:
• Choose which protocol to use (ESP or AH) for the IKE key exchange.
• Choose an encryption algorithm.
• Choose an encryption algorithm.
Authentication
Algorithm
Select SHA1 or MD5 from the drop-down list box. MD5 (Message Digest 5) and
SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) are hash algorithms used to authenticate packet
data. The SHA1 algorithm is generally considered stronger than MD5, but is
slower. Select MD5 for minimal security and SHA1 for maximum security.
