Note
So that a VPN connection can be established, all devices need to use the same
settings or provide compatible key procedures.
• Lifetime [min]:
Enter a period in minutes to specify the lifetime of the agreed keys. When the time
expires, the key is renegotiated.
• Lifebytes
Enter the data limit in bytes that specifies the lifetime of the agreed key. When the
data limit is reached, the key is renegotiated.
• Protocol
Specify the protocol for which the VPN connection is valid e.g. UDP, TCP, ICMP. If the
setting is intended to apply to all protocols, enter "*".
