Description
These settings identify this policy and determine its major characteristics.
The descriptive name of the IKE policy. Each policy should have a unique
policy name. This name is not supplied to the remote VPN endpoint. It is
only used to help you identify IKE policies.
This setting is used when determining if the IKE policy matches the current
traffic. The drop-down menu includes the following:
• Initiator — Outgoing connections are allowed, but incoming are blocked.
• Responder — Incoming connections are allowed, but outgoing are
blocked.
• Both Directions — Both outgoing and incoming connections are allowed.
• Remote Access — This is to allow only incoming client connections,
where the IP address of the remote client is unknown.
If Remote Access is selected, the Exchange Mode must be Aggressive,
and the Identities below (both Local and Remote) must be Name. On the
matching VPN Policy, the IP address of the remote VPN endpoint should
be set to 0.0.0.0.
Main Mode or Aggressive Mode. This setting must match the setting used
on the remote VPN endpoint.
• Main Mode is slower but more secure. Also, the Identity below must be
established by IP address.
• Aggressive Mode is faster but less secure. The Identity below can be by
name (host name, domain name, and e-mail address) instead of by IP
address.
These parameters apply to the Local FVG318 wireless VPN firewall.
Use this field to identify the local FVG318. You can choose one of the
following four options from the drop-down list:
• By its Internet (WAN) port IP address.
• By its Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) — your domain name.
• By a Fully Qualified User Name — your name, E-mail address, or
other ID.
• By DER ASN.1 DN — the binary DER encoding of your ASN.1 X.500
Distinguished Name.
This field lets you identify the local FVG318 by name.
