Description

IKE Local Name

Enter a name for the local security gateway.
If the local device acts as the IKE negotiation initiator and uses the ID type of Fully

Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or the user FQDN of the security gateway for IKE
negotiation, you need to configure this argument on the local device. Then, the local

device sends its gateway name as identification to its peer and the peer uses the locally

configured remote gateway name to authenticate the local device. Make sure that the
local gateway name configured here is identical to the remote gateway name configured

on its peer.
By default, the device name is used as the local gateway name.

NAT Keepalive
Interval

Set the interval at which the ISAKMP SA sends NAT keepalive packets to its peer.
NAT mappings on a NAT gateway may get aged. If no packet traverses an IPsec tunnel
in a certain period of time, the NAT mapping will be deleted, disabling the tunnel beyond

the NAT gateway from transferring data. To prevent NAT mappings from being aged, an
ISAKMP SA sends to its peer NAT keepalive packets at a certain interval to keep the NAT

session alive.

Configuring an IKE proposal

An IKE proposal defines a set of attributes describing how IKE negotiation should take place. You may

create multiple IKE proposals with different preferences. The preference of an IKE proposal is represented

by its sequence number, and the smaller the sequence number, the higher the preference.
Two peers must have at least one pair of matched IKE proposals for successful IKE negotiation. During
IKE negotiation, the negotiation initiator sends its IKE proposals to the peer. The peer will match the IKE

proposals against its own IKE proposals, starting with the one with the smallest sequence number. The

match goes on until a match is found or all IKE proposals are found mismatched. The matched IKE

proposals will be used to establish the security tunnel.
Two matched IKE proposals have the same encryption algorithm, authentication method, authentication

algorithm, and DH group. The ISAKMP SA lifetime will take the smaller one of the two matched IKE

proposals.
