This section describes the steps to establish the VPN tunnel-using
manual keying. Manual keying is a method to achieve security
when ease of configuration and maintenance is more important or
automatic keying is not feasible due to interoperability issues
between IKE implementations on the gateways. However, this is a
weak security option as all packets use the same keys unless you –
as the network administrator, use different key for authentication.
