Delete to remove an existing peer configuration. The parameters that can de defined for the
peer configuration vary depending on whether IKEv1 or IKEv2 was selected.

Authentication Type

Lists whether the peer configuration has been defined to use pre-shared key (PSK) or RSA. Rivest,
Shamir, and Adleman
(RSA) is an algorithm for public key cryptography. It’s the first algorithm known to
be suitable for signing, as well as encryption. If using IKEv2, this screen displays both local and remote
authentication, as both ends of the VPN connection require authentication.

LocalID

Lists the access point’s local identifier used within this peer configuration for an IKE exchange with the
target VPN IPSec peer.

RemoteID

Displays the means the target remote peer is to be identified (string, FQDN etc.) within the VPN tunnel.

IKE Policy Name

Lists the IKEv1 or IKE v2 policy used with each listed peer configuration. If a policy requires creation,
select the Create button.
