Easy IKE/IPSec Setup
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a means of dynamically creating IP Security (IPSec) connections. IPSec uses
encryption and authentication to virtual private networks over an insecure network. The Easy IKE/IPSec Setup
form is used to create a default IKE configuration.
To perform Easy IKE/IPSec setup:
1. Click
Easy IKE/IPSec Setup
from the left navigation pane of the IKE/IPSec Information page. This displays
the Easy IKE/IPSec Setup page.
2. In
IKE Peer Name
, enter a logical name for an IKE Peer. This name is of no importance to the remote IKE
peer. Choose a name that is meaningful to you.
3. In
Pre-shared Secret
, enter a case-sensitive character string used for authentication. This secret can be
up to 256 characters, with no spaces or non-printable characters. The pre-shared secret must be mutually
agreed upon by both parties to the IKE connection.
4. In
Peer Gateway IP Address
, enter the IP address of the gateway at the remote end of the IKE
connection.
5. In
Destination IP Address

authenticate using this IKE policy.
