Configuring VPN
Configuring Advanced VPN Parameters
Cisco RV110W Administration Guide
In the IKE SA Parameters section, the Security Association (SA) parameters
define the strength and mode for negotiating the SA. You can configure the
following settings:
• Encryption Algorithm—Choose the algorithm used to negotiate the SA:
- DES
- 3DES
- AES-128
- AES-192
- AES-256
• Authentication Algorithm—Specify the authentication algorithm for the
VPN header:
- MD5
- SHA-1
- SHA2-256
Ensure that the authentication algorithm is configured identically on both
sides of the VPN tunnel (for example, the Cisco RV110W and the router
to which it is connecting).
• Pre-Shared Key—Enter the key in the space provided. Note that the
double-quote character (") is not supported in the pre-shared key.
• Diffie-Hellman (DH) Group—Specify the DH Group algorithm, which is
used when exchanging keys. The DH Group sets the strength of the
algorithm in bits. Ensure that the DH Group is configured identically on both
sides of the IKE policy.
• SA Lifetime—Enter the interval, in seconds, after which the Security
Association becomes invalid.
• Dead Peer Detection—Check the Enable box to enable this feature, or
uncheck the box to disable it. Dead Peer Detection (DPD) is used to detect
whether the peer is alive or not. If peer is detected as dead, the router
deletes the IPsec and IKE Security Association. If you enable this feature,
also enter these settings:
- DPD Delay—Enter the interval, in seconds, between consecutive DPD
R-U-THERE messages. DPD R-U-THERE messages are sent only when
the IPsec traffic is idle.
