3. As an option, click Ensure connecting peer switches have known WWNs. This provides an

added measure of security.

4. Enter the WWN for the remote switch.

5. Assign IKE and IPsec policies. For the 4 Gbps Extension Switch and Blade, you must choose

from a list of policies. The 8 Gbps Extension Switch and Blade have predefined IKE and IPsec
policies. These policies are enabled by selecting the Enable IPSec check box. Matching policies
are applied to the remote switch. Note that the Enable IPSec check box is unavailable while
editing the tunnels because the IPsec settings cannot be edited for the secured tunnels.

NOTE

IPsec settings cannot be edited. If you want to change settings, you must delete the tunnel and
then create a new tunnel with the new settings.

6. In the PreShared Key field, specify the key for IKE authentication. Use the following

specifications, depending on your extension platform:

For the 4 Gbps Extension Switch and Blade and the 8 Gbps Extension Blade, the key value
must be from 12 through 32 alphanumeric characters. The length depends on the chosen
IKE policy.
