172.16.0.0 — 255.240.0.0
192.168.0.0/16 — 255.255.0.0

Shared Secret A phrase stored at both ends of the tunnel to authenticate
the transmission as being from the claimed origin. The
secret can be any phrase, but mixing numerical, special,
alphabetical, and uppercase characters improves security.
For example, "My1F@ult" is better than "myonefault"
Site A: : : : OurLittleSecret

Encryption Encryption method determines the length in bits of the key
Method used to encrypt and decrypt communication packets. DES is
a 56-bit encryption; 3DES is 168-bit, and therefore much

selected as long as both sides use the same method.
Site A: : : : 3DES

Authentication Both sides must use the same method.
