Description
General
These settings identify this policy and determine its major characteristics.
Policy Name
The descriptive name of the VPN policy. Each policy should have a unique
policy name. This name is not supplied to the remote VPN endpoint. It is only
used to help you identify VPN policies.

The existing IKE policies are presented in a drop-down list.
Note:
Create the IKE policy BEFORE creating a VPN - Auto policy.
Remote VPN Endpoint
The address used to locate the remote VPN firewall or client to which you want
to connect. The remote VPN endpoint must have this FVL328’s Local Identity
Data entered as its “Remote VPN Endpoint”:
•
By its IP Address.
•
By its Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) – your domain name.
SA Life Time
The duration of the Security Association before it expires.
•
Seconds - the amount of time before the SA expires. Over an hour is common
(3600).
•
Kbytes - the amount of traffic before the SA expires.
One of these can be set without setting the other.
IPSec PFS
If enabled, security is enhanced by ensuring that the key is changed at regular
intervals. Also, even if one key is broken, subsequent keys are no easier to
break. Each key has no relationship to the previous key.
PFS Key Group
If PFS is enabled, this setting determines the DH group bit size used in the key
exchange. This must match the value used on the remote gateway. Select
Group 1 (768 bit) or Group 2 (1024 bit).
