Autokey IKE
This chapter describes steps to create a VPN connection using Autokey IKE.
Autokey IKE (Internet Key Exchange) provides a standard method to negotiate
keys between two security gateways. For example, with two firewall devices,
IKE allows new keys to be generated after a set amount of time has passed or
a certain threshold of traffic has been exchanged.
Accessing the Autokey IKE window:
Click IPSec Autokey under the VPN menu to enter the Autokey IKE window.
The Autokey IKE table displays current configured VPNs.
The fields in the Autokey IKE window are:
! Name: The VPN name to identify the VPN tunnel definition. The name
must be different for the two sites creating the tunnel.
! Gateway IP: The external interface IP address of the remote Firewall.
! Destination Subnet: Destination network subnet.
! PSK/RSA: The IKE VPN must be defined with a Preshared Key. The Key
may be up to 128 bytes long.
! Status: Connect/Disconnect or Connecting/Disconnecting.
! Configure: Connect, Disconnect, Modify and Delete.
