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, enter the IP address of the remote private network that your system will
authenticate using this IKE policy.
6. In Destination Subnet Mask, enter the destination subnet mask of the remote private network that your
system will authenticate using this IKE policy.
7. Click Apply.
