l
phase 2.
The IKE encryption protocol to use for the IPsec tunnel negotiation during phase 1 and
l
phase 2.

n
that NAT is being used.
If using IPsec failover, identify the primary tunnel during configuration of the backup tunnel.
n
The Network Address Translation (NAT) keep alive time.
n
The protocol, either Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) or Authentication Header (AH).

central management and direct device access.
Enable XAUTH client authentication, and the username and password to be used to
n
authenticate with the remote peer.
Enable Mode-configuration (MODECFG) to receive configuration information, such as the
n
private IP address, from the remote peer.
Disable the padding of IKE packets. This should normally not be done except for compatibility
n
purposes.
Destination networks that require source NAT.
n
