Configuring IKE key settings
The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is an IPsec standard protocol used to ensure security for VPN
negotiation and remote host or network access. IKE provides an automatic means of negotiation
and authentication for communication between two or more parties. In essence, IKE manages
IPSec keys automatically for the parties.
To configure IKE key settings for the Mobility 5181 Access Point:
1. Select Network Configuration -> WAN -> VPN from the Mobility 5181 Access Point menu tree.
2. Refer to the VPN Tunnel Config field, select the Auto (IKE) Key Exchange radio button and click
the IKE Settings button.
3. Configure the IKE Key Settings screen to modify the following:
