14.8 VPN Rules (IKE): Network Policy Move
Click the move ( ) icon in the VPN Rules (IKE) screen to display the VPN Rules (IKE):
Network Policy Move screen.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel gives you a secure connection to another computer or
network. Each VPN tunnel uses a single gateway policy and one or more network policies.
• The gateway policy contains the IKE SA settings. It identifies the IPSec routers at either
end of a VPN tunnel.
• The network policy contains the IPSec SA settings. It specifies which devices (behind the
IPSec routers) can use the VPN tunnel.
Use this screen to associate a network policy to a gateway policy.
Authentication
Algorithm
Select which hash algorithm to use to authenticate packet data in the IPSec SA.
Choices are SHA1 and MD5. SHA1 is generally considered stronger than MD5,
but it is also slower.
SA Life Time
(Seconds)
Define the length of time before an IPSec SA automatically renegotiates in this
field. The minimum value is 180 seconds.
A short SA Life Time increases security by forcing the two VPN gateways to
update the encryption and authentication keys. However, every time the VPN
tunnel renegotiates, all users accessing remote resources are temporarily
disconnected.
Perfect Forward
Secret (PFS)
Select whether or not you want to enable Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) and, if
you do, which Diffie-Hellman key group to use for encryption. Choices are:
NONE - disable PFS
DH1 - enable PFS and use a 768-bit random number
DH2 - enable PFS and use a 1024-bit random number
PFS changes the root key that is used to generate encryption keys for each
IPSec SA. It is more secure but takes more time.
Enable Replay
Detection
As a VPN setup is processing intensive, the system is vulnerable to Denial of
Service (DOS) attacks. The IPSec receiver can detect and reject old or
duplicate packets to protect against replay attacks. Enable replay detection by
selecting this check box.
Enable Multiple
Proposals
Select this to allow the ZyWALL to use any of its phase 2 encryption and
authentication algorithms when negotiating an IPSec SA.
When you enable multiple proposals, the ZyWALL allows the remote IPSec
router to select which phase 2 encryption and authentication algorithms to use
for the IPSec SA, even if they are less secure than the ones you configure for
the VPN rule.
Clear this to have the ZyWALL use only the configured phase 2 encryption and
authentication algorithms when negotiating an IPSec SA.
