PFS Group

PFS stands for perfect forward secrecy. You may choose

to use the same keys (generated when the IKE tunnel is

created) for all re-negotiations or you can choose to generate

new keys for every re-negotiation. Select

None to use the

same keys for all the re-negotiations. Select a specific DH

(Diffie-Hellman) group to generate new keys for every re-

negotiation. The supported DH groups are DH-1, DH-2 and

DH-5. The greater the group number, the more secure the

connection is. However, the greater the group number, the

more time it takes to negotiate a tunnel.
Note: With PFS selected, keys are changed during the

course of a connection and the tunnel is more secure.

However, enabling this option slows down the tunnel negotia-

tion.

Life Times

Enter the life time of IPSec security association in seconds,

minutes, hours or days and kilo bytes. Default value is 3600

seconds and 75000 kilo bytes.
