Diffie Hellman Groups Loaded lists the Diffie Hellman groups and Oakley group
extensions that can be configured for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 negotiations.

Connection Details lists an overview of the tunnel's configuration. It contains the
following information:

An outline of the tunnel's network setup. In this example, it is

192.168.2.0/24===209.0.0.2(branch@office)...209.0.0.1===192.168.1.0/24

Phase 1 and Phase 2 key lifetimes (ike_life and ipsec_life respectively). In this

example, they are both 3600s.

Type of automatic (IKE) keying. In this example, the policy line has:

AGGRESSIVE. For Main mode, it will read MAIN.

Type of authentication used. In this example, the policy line has: PSK

(Preshared Key). For RSA Digital Signatures or x.509 certificates, it will read
RSA.

Whether Perfect Forward Secrecy is used. In this example, the policy line has

the PFS keyword. If PFS is disabled, then the keyword will not appear.

Whether IP Payload Compression is used. In this example, the policy line does

not have the COMPRESS keyword since it has not been enabled.

The interface on which the tunnel is going out. In this example, the interface line

has eth1, which is the Internet interface.

The current Phase 1 key. This is the number that corresponds to the newest

ISAKMP SA field. In this example, phase 1 has not be successfully negotiated,
so there is no key yet.

The current Phase 2 key. This is the number that corresponds to the newest

IPSec SA field. In this example, phase 1 has not be successfully negotiated, so
there is no key yet.

The Phase 1 proposal wanted. The line IKE algorithms wanted reads 5_000-2-

2. The 5_000 refers to cipher 3DES (where 3DES has an id of 5, see Phase 1
Ciphers Loaded), the first 2 refer to hash SHA (where SHA has an id of 2, see
Phase 1 Hashes Loaded) and the second 2 refer to the Diffie Hellman Group 2
(where Diffie Hellman Group 2 has an id of 2).
