Tunnel

IPSec
Algorithm

This field displays the security protocols used for an SA. ESP provides
confidentiality and integrity of data by encrypting the data and
encapsulating it into IP packets. Encryption methods include 56-bit DES
and 168-bit 3DES. NULL denotes a tunnel without encryption.

AH (Authentication Header) provides strong integrity and authentication
by adding authentication information to IP packets. This authentication
information is calculated using header and payload data in the IP packet.
This provides an additional level of security. AH choices are MD5 (default
- 128 bits) and SHA -1(160 bits).

Both AH and ESP increase the Prestige’s processing requirements and
communications latency (delay).

You need to finish configuring the VPN policy in menu 27.1.1.1 or 27.1.1.2
if ??? is displayed.
