Configuring manual key settings

A transform set is a combination of security protocols and algorithms applied to IPSec protected
traffic. During security association (SA) negotiation, both gateways agree to use a particular
transform set to protect data flow.

A transform set specifies one or two IPSec security protocols (either AH, ESP, or both) and specifies
the algorithms to use for the selected security protocol. If you specify an ESP protocol in a
transform set, specify just an ESP encryption transform or both an ESP encryption transform and
an ESP authentication transform.

When the particular transform set is used during negotiations for IPSec SAs, the entire transform
set (the combination of protocols, algorithms, and other settings) must match a transform set at
the remote end of the gateway.

Use the Manual Key Settings screen to specify the transform sets used for VPN access.
