Remote ID
Type
Select IP to identify the remote IPSec router by its IP address.
Select Domain Name to identify the remote IPSec router by a domain name.
Select E-mail to identify the remote IPSec router by an e-mail address.
Content The configuration of the remote content depends on the remote ID type.
For IP, type the IP address of the computer with which you will make the VPN
connection. If you configure this field to 0.0.0.0 or leave it blank, the WiMAX
Device will use the address in the Remote Endpoint field (refer to the Remote
Endpoint field description).
For Domain Name or E-mail, type a domain name or e-mail address by which
to identify the remote IPSec router. Use up to 31 ASCII characters including
spaces, although trailing spaces are truncated. The domain name or e-mail
address is for identification purposes only and can be any string.
It is recommended that you type an IP address other than 0.0.0.0 or use the
Domain Name or E-mail ID type in the following situations:
• When there is a NAT router between the two IPSec routers.
• When you want the WiMAX Device to distinguish between VPN connection
requests that come in from remote IPSec routers with dynamic WAN IP
addresses.
IKE Phase 1
Proposal
# This field is a sequential value, and it is not associated with a specific proposal.
The sequence of proposals should not affect performance significantly.
Encryption Select which key size and encryption algorithm to use in the IKE SA. Choices
are:
• DES - a 56-bit key with the DES encryption algorithm
• 3DES - a 168-bit key with the DES encryption algorithm
• AES128 - a 128-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm
• AES192 - a 192-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm
• AES256 - a 256-bit key with the AES encryption algorithm
The WiMAX Device and the remote IPSec router must use the same key size and
encryption algorithm. Longer keys require more processing power, resulting in
increased latency and decreased throughput.
Authentication Select which hash algorithm to use to authenticate packet data. Choices are
SHA1 and MD5. SHA1 is generally considered stronger than MD5, but it is also
slower.
Remove Select an entry and click this to delete it.
Add Click this to create a new entry.
OK Click this to save the changes.
Key Group Select which Diffie-Hellman key group (DHx) you want to use for encryption
keys. Choices are:
• DH1 - use a 768-bit random number
• DH2 - use a 1024-bit random number
• DH5 - use a 1536-bit random number
The longer the key, the more secure the encryption, but also the longer it takes
to encrypt and decrypt information. Both routers must use the same DH key
group.
