FIELD DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
public static IP address.
When the secure gateway IP address is 0.0.0.0 (as discussed in the last
chapter), there may be different connections using this same VPN rule. In
this case, the name is followed by the remote IP address as configured in
Menu 27.1.1. – IPSec Setup
. Individual connections using the same VPN
rule may be terminated without affecting other connections using the same
rule.
Encap.
This field displays
Tunnel

discussion.
Tunnel
IPSec
ALgorithm
This field displays the security protocols used for an SA.
ESP
provides
confidentiality and integrity of data by encrypting the data and
encapsulating it into IP packets. Encryption methods include 56-bit
DES
and 168-bit
3DES
.
NULL
denotes a tunnel without encryption.
An incoming SA may have an
AH
in addition to
ESP
. The Authentication
Header provides strong integrity and authentication by adding
authentication information to IP packets. This authentication information is
calculated using header and payload data in the IP packet. This provides
an additional level of security.
AH
choices are
MD5
(default - 128 bits)
and
SHA -1
(160 bits).
Both
AH
and
ESP
increase Prestige processing requirements and
communications latency (delay).
