Note
When PFS is turned on, for every negotiation of a new phase-2 SA the two gateways must
generate a new set of phase-1 keys. This adds an extra layer of protection that PFS adds,
which ensures if the phase-2 SA’s have expired, the keys used for new phase-2 SA’s have
not been generated from the current phase-1 keying material.
• IKE Lifetime (seconds): The phase-1 lifetime of the security association in seconds. Default is
86400 seconds (1 day). Whenever the time expires, a new phase-1 exchange is performed.
• ESP Lifetime (seconds): The phase-2 lifetime of the security association in seconds. Default is
3600 seconds (1 hour). Whenever the value is exceeded, a re-key is initiated to provide a new
IPsec encryption and authentication session keys.
• Dead Peer Detection: A method to detect an unavailable Internet Key Exchange (IKE) peer.
Select this option if you want the virtual router to query the liveliness of its IKE peer at regular
intervals. It’s recommended to have the same configuration of DPD on both side of VPN
connection.
