SIP User's Manual 3. Web-Based Management
The parameters described in the following table are used to configure the first phase (main
mode) of the IKE negotiation for a specific peer. A different set of parameters can be
configured for each of the 20 available peers.
Table 3-26: IKE Table Configuration Parameters
Parameter Name Description
Authentication Method
[IkePolicyAuthenticationMe
thod]
Determines the authentication method for IKE.
[0] Pre-shared Key (default)
[1] RSA Signature
Notes:
For pre-shared key authentication, peers participating in an IKE
exchange must have a prior (out-of-band) knowledge of the
common key (see IKEPolicySharedKey parameter).
For RSA signature authentication, peers must be loaded with a
certificate signed by a common CA. For additional information on
certificates, refer to ''Server Certificate Replacement'' on page 86.
Shared Key
[IKEPolicySharedKey]
Determines the pre-shared key (in textual format). Both peers must
register the same pre-shared key for the authentication process to
succeed.
Notes:
The pre-shared key forms the basis of IPSec security and should
therefore, be handled cautiously (in the same way as sensitive
passwords). It is not recommended to use the same pre-shared
key for several connections.
Since the ini file is in plain text format, loading it to the device
over a secure network connection is recommended, preferably
over a direct crossed-cable connection from a management PC.
For added confidentiality, use the encoded ini file option
(described in ''Secured Encoded ini File'' on page 231).
After it is configured, the value of the pre-shared key cannot be
obtained via Web interface, ini file, or SNMP (refer the Product
Reference Manual).
IKE SA LifeTime (sec)
[IKEPolicyLifeInSec]
Determines the time (in seconds) the SA negotiated in the first IKE
session (main mode) is valid. After the time expires, the SA is re-
negotiated.
The default value is 28800 (i.e., 8 hours).
IKE SA LifeTime (KB)
[IKEPolicyLifeInKB]
Determines the lifetime (in kilobytes) that the SA negotiated in the
first IKE session (main mode) is valid. After this size is reached, the
SA is re-negotiated.
The default value is 0 (i.e., this parameter is ignored).
These lifetime parameters [IKE SA LifeTime (sec) and IKE SA LifeTime (KB)] determine the duration
the SA created in the main mode phase is valid. When the lifetime of the SA expires, it's automatically
renewed by performing the IKE first phase negotiations. To refrain from a situation where the SA
expires, a new SA is negotiated while the old one is still valid. As soon as the new SA is created, it
replaces the old one. This procedure occurs whenever an SA is about to expire.
First to Fourth Proposal
Encryption Type
[IKEPolicyProposalEncrypti
on_X]
Determines the encryption type used in the main mode negotiation
for up to four proposals. For the ini file parameter, X depicts the
proposal number (0 to 3).
[1] DES-CBC
