19.13 VPN Rules (IKE): Network Policy Move
Click the move ( ) icon in the VPN Rules (IKE) screen to display the VPN Rules (IKE):
Network Policy Move screen. Use this screen to associate a network policy to a gateway rule.
Authentication
Algorithm
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 SHA-1 for maximum security.
SA Life Time
(Seconds)
Define the length of time before an IKE SA automatically renegotiates in this
field. The minimum value is 180 seconds.
A short SA Life Time increases security by forcing the two VPN gateways to
update the encryption and authentication keys. However, every time the VPN
tunnel renegotiates, all users accessing remote resources are temporarily
disconnected.
Perfect Forward
Secret (PFS)
Perfect Forward Secret (PFS) is disabled (NONE) by default in phase 2 IPSec
SA setup. This allows faster IPSec setup, but is not so secure.
Select DH1 or DH2 to enable PFS. DH1 refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 1 a 768
bit random number. DH2 refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 2 a 1024 bit (1Kb)
random number (more secure, yet slower).
Enable Replay
Detection
As a VPN setup is processing intensive, the system is vulnerable to Denial of
Service (DOS) attacks. The IPSec receiver can detect and reject old or duplicate
packets to protect against replay attacks. Enable replay detection by selecting
this check box.
Enable Multiple
Proposals
Select this check box to allow the ZyWALL to use any of its phase 1 or phase 2
encryption and authentication algorithms when negotiating an IPSec SA.
When you enable multiple proposals, the ZyWALL allows the remote IPSec
router to select which encryption and authentication algorithms to use for the
VPN tunnel, even if they are less secure than the ones you configure for the
VPN rule.
Clear this check box to have the ZyWALL use only the phase 1 or phase 2
encryption and authentication algorithms configured below when negotiating an
IPSec SA.
