Item Description
Encapsulation Mode
Select the IP packet encapsulation mode. Options include:
• Tunnel—Uses the tunnel mode.
• Transport—Uses the transport mode.
PFS
Enable and configure the Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) feature or disable the
feature. Options include:
• None—Disables PFS.
• Diffie-Hellman Group1—Enables PFS and uses the 768-bit Diffie-Hellman
group.
• Diffie-Hellman Group2—Enables PFS and uses the 1024-bit Diffie-Hellman
group.
• Diffie-Hellman Group5—Enables PFS and uses the 1536-bit Diffie-Hellman
group.
• Diffie-Hellman Group14—Enables PFS and uses the 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman
group.
IMPORTANT:
• DH Group14, DH Group5, DH Group2, and DH Group1 are in the descending
order of security and calculation time.
• When IPsec uses an IPsec connection with PFS configured to initiate
negotiation, an additional key exchange is performed in phase 2 for higher
security.
• Two peers must use the same Diffie-Hellman group. Otherwise, negotiation
fails.
SA Lifetime
Enter the IPsec SA lifetime, which can be time-based or traffic-based.
IMPORTANT:
When negotiating to set up IPsec SAs, IKE uses the smaller one between the
lifetime set locally and the lifetime proposed by the peer.
DPD
Enables or disables IKE DPD.
DPD irregularly detects dead IKE peers. When the local end sends an IPsec packet,
DPD checks the time the last IPsec packet was received from the peer. If the time
exceeds the DPD interval, it sends a DPD hello to the peer. If the local end receives
no DPD acknowledgement within the DPD packet retransmission interval, it
retransmits the DPD hello. If the local end still receives no DPD acknowledgement
after having made the maximum number of retransmission attempts (two by
default), it considers the peer already dead, and clears the IKE SA and the IPsec
SAs based on the IKE SA.
DPD Query
Triggering Interval
Enter the interval after which DPD is triggered if no IPsec protected packets is
received from the peer.
DPD Packet
Retransmission
Interval
Enter the interval after which DPD packet retransmission will occur if no DPD
response is received.
Displaying IPsec VPN monitoring information
1. Select VPN > IPsec VPN from the navigation tree.
2. Click the Monitoring Information tab to enter the page that displays the IPsec connection
configuration and status information.
3. Select an IPsec connection.
The lower part of the page shows the information of the IPsec tunnel that was set up with the
selected IPsec connection configuration.
