the pre-shared key authentication method, you must configure a pre-shared key for each branch on the
Headquarters node.
DH algorithm
The DH algorithm is a public key algorithm. With this algorithm, two peers can exchange keying material
and then use the material to calculate the shared keys. Due to the decryption complexity, a third party
cannot decrypt the keys even after intercepting all keying materials.
PFS
The Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) feature is a security feature based on the DH algorithm. After PFS is
enabled, an additional DH exchange is performed in IKE phase 2 to make sure negotiated keys have no
derivative relations and a broken key brings no threats to other keys.

FIPS compliance

The device supports the FIPS mode that complies with NIST FIPS 140-2 requirements. Support for features,
commands, and parameters might differ in FIPS mode (see

IKE configuration prerequisites

Determine the following parameters prior to IKE configuration:
The algorithms to be used during IKE negotiation, including the identity authentication method,

encryption algorithm, authentication algorithm, and DH group.
Different algorithms provide different levels of protection. A stronger algorithm provides more
resistance to decryption but uses more resources. Generally, an algorithm with a longer key is
stronger.
A DH group that uses more bits provides higher security but needs more time.
