Configuring IPsec VPN Server
Using IPsec VPN enables secure remote access to corporate resources by
establishing an encrypted tunnel across the Internet. Your device supports the
following IPsec VPN clients:
•
TheGreenBow
•
ShrewSoft
Configuring the IPsec VPN Server
To configure the IPsec VPN server:
STEP 1
Choose VPN > IPsec VPN Server> Setup.
STEP 2
Check the Server Enable check box.
STEP 3
In the Phase 1 section, configure settings to authenticate the two VPN endpoints to
each other and negotiate the IKE Security Association (SA) so that a secure
channel is set up for negotiating SAs in Phase 2.
a. In the Pre-Shared Key field, enter the pre-shared key or password that will be
exchanged between your device and the remote endpoint. The password
must be between 8 and 49 characters.
b. In the Exchange Mode
field, choose one of the following modes for the IPsec
VPN connection:
-
Main
—Negotiate the tunnel with higher security, but is slower.
-
Aggressive
—Establish a faster connection, but with lowered security.
c. Choose the
Encryption Algorithm
to encrypt data and choose the
Authentication Algorithm
for the VPN header. Ensure that the authentication
algorithm is configured identically on both your device and the remote
endpoint.
d. In the
Diffie-Hellman (DH) Group
field, specify the Diffie-Hellman Group
algorithm used when exchanging a pre-shared key sets the strength of the
algorithm in bits. Ensure that the DH Group is configured identically on both
your device and the remote endpoint.
e. In the IKE SA-Lifetime field, enter the duration, in seconds, after which the
Security Association for the VPN connection is renegotiated.
