in System Service Configuration page.
3. Select "Add New" from the "ID" drop-down list.

phanumeric characters are allowed in a name.

group, remote gateway, key management type (select Preshared Key),
preshared key for IKE, encryption/authentication algorithm for IKE,
lifetime for IKE, encryption/authentication algorithm for IPSec, opera-
tion mode for IPSec, PFS group for IPSec and lifetime for IPSec. Please
see Table 10.4 for explanation of these fields.
7. Assign a priority for this rule by selecting a number from the "Move
to" drop-down list. Note that the number indicates the priority of the
rule with two being the highest as one is used by the rule, allow-ike-io,
which is needed by IKE. Higher priority rules will be examined prior to
the lower priority rules by the VPN.

rule will then be displayed in the VPN Connection Status table at the
