SPI Base
The Security Parameter Index identifies a manual connection. The SPI is a unique identifier in the SA
(Secure Association – a type of secure connection) that allows the receiving computer to select the
SA under which a packet will be processed. The SPI Base is a number needed by the manual keying
code. Enter any 3-digit hexadecimal number, which is unique for a security association. It should be
in the form 0xhex (0x100 through 0xfff is recommended). If you have more than one manual
connection, then the SPI Base must be different for each one.
