Diffie Hellman Groups Loaded lists the Diffie Hellman groups and Oakley group
extensions that can be configured for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 negotiations.
Connection Details lists an overview of the tunnel's configuration. It contains the
following information:
•
An outline of the tunnel's network setup. In this example, it is
192.168.2.0/24===209.0.0.2(branch@office)...209.0.0.1===192.168.1.0/24
•
Phase 1 and Phase 2 key lifetimes (ike_life and ipsec_life respectively). In this
example, they are both 3600s.
•
Type of automatic (IKE) keying. In this example, the policy line has:
AGGRESSIVE. For Main mode, it will read MAIN.
•
Type of authentication used. In this example, the policy line has: PSK
(Preshared Key). For RSA Digital Signatures or x.509 certificates, it will read
RSA.
•
Whether Perfect Forward Secrecy is used. In this example, the policy line has
the PFS keyword. If PFS is disabled, then the keyword will not appear.
•
Whether IP Payload Compression is used. In this example, the policy line does
not have the COMPRESS keyword since it has not been enabled.
•
The interface on which the tunnel is going out. In this example, the interface line
has eth1, which is the Internet interface.
•
The current Phase 1 key. This is the number that corresponds to the newest
ISAKMP SA field. In this example, phase 1 has not be successfully negotiated,
so there is no key yet.
•
The current Phase 2 key. This is the number that corresponds to the newest
IPSec SA field. In this example, phase 1 has not be successfully negotiated, so
there is no key yet.
•
The Phase 1 proposal wanted. The line IKE algorithms wanted reads 5_000-2-
2. The 5_000 refers to cipher 3DES (where 3DES has an id of 5, see Phase 1
Ciphers Loaded), the first 2 refer to hash SHA (where SHA has an id of 2, see
Phase 1 Hashes Loaded) and the second 2 refer to the Diffie Hellman Group 2
(where Diffie Hellman Group 2 has an id of 2).
