PFS Enable. Enable Per fect Forward Secrecy. PFS forces a DH negotiation
during Phase II of IKE-IPSec SA exchange. You can disable this or select a
DH group 1, 2, or 5. PFS is a security principle that ensures that any single
key being compromised will permit access to only data protected by that sin-
gle key. In PFS, the key used to protect transmission of data must not be
used to derive any additional keys. If the key was derived from some other
keying material, that material must not be used to derive any more keys.
PING. Packet INternet Groper. Utility program that uses an ICMP echo mes-
sage and its reply to verify that one network node can reach another. Often
used to verify that two hosts can communicate over a network.
