15.8 ID Type and Content

With aggressive negotiation mode (see Section Negotiation Mode), the Prestige identifies
incoming SAs by ID type and content since this identifying information is not encrypted. This
enables the Prestige to distinguish between multiple rules for SAs that connect from remote
IPSec routers that have dynamic WAN IP addresses. Telecommuters can use separate
passwords to simultaneously connect to the Prestige from IPSec routers with dynamic IP
addresses (see
configuration example).
With main mode (see Section Negotiation Mode), the ID type and content are encrypted to
provide identity protection. In this case the Prestige can only distinguish between up to eight
different incoming SAs that connect from remote IPSec routers that have dynamic WAN IP
addresses. The Prestige can distinguish up to eight incoming SAs because you can select
between three encryption algorithms (DES and 3DES), two authentication algorithms (MD5
and SHA1) and two key groups (DH1 and DH2) when you configure a VPN rule (
