manual key and automatic key exchange. Manual key

approach indicates that the two endpoint VPN gateways

require setting up authentication and encryption key by

the Administrator manually. However, IKE approach will

perform automatic Internet key exchange. Admins of both

endpoint gateways will only need to set the same

pre-shared key.

For more in depth configuration to adjust manual key or IKE

method settings, click
