Method
IPSec VPN supports two kinds of key-obtained methods:
manual key and automatic key exchange. Manual key
approach indicates that the two endpoint VPN gateways
require setting up authentication and encryption key by
the Administrator manually. However, IKE approach will
perform automatic Internet key exchange. Admins of both
endpoint gateways will only need to set the same
pre-shared key.
