Once the communication channel is established (tunnel), the data is then securely transferred over the tunnel using the phase 2 parameters.

Hi AXISHK,

Kindly elaborate more on the query.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Need to provide the following information for VPN configuration between two different VPN box. Can you assign me to understand the following ?<br />
<br />
For the preshared key used in Phrase 1, it will not used in Phrase 2. Does it mean the box will generate a key for phrase 2 ? Thx<br />
<br />
Phase1:<br />
mode config: enable or disable<br />
NAT-T : enable or disable<br />
dpd : enable or disable<br />
Authentication: preshared key<br />
IKE: ver1 or ver2<br />
Mode: main or aggressive<br />
phase1 proposal: encryption method and authentication method<br />
DH group: <br />
<br />
<br />
Phase2: <br />
phase2 proposal: encryption method and authentication method<br />
DH group:<br />
Replay detection:enable or disable<br />
PFS:enable or disable

VPN Configuration

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPsec can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). IPsec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite.

Internet Protocol Security

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.

Network Security

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
