❼ DPD Delay: The DPD delay is the interval between DPD probing messages

sent by a VPN gateway.

❼ DPD Timeout: If a period corresponding to the DPD timeout elapses with-

out getting any response on the DPD probe messages, the VPN gateway
considers the peer to be down.

The DPD settings can be configured individually on each peer. It is even possible
to disable DPD on one of the peers - that peer will still respond to DPD probing
messages from the other peer.

Examples of using IPsec VPN with PSK

This section illustrates configuration steps when configuring IPsec VPNs using IKE
authentication with pre-shared key (PSKs).

Fig. 35.5

shows a sample IPsec VPN topology which can be used to illustrate VPN

configuration steps. This is the same topology as shown in the NET-NET example
in

fig. 35.2

, but with some more details on the inbound and outbound interface

of each VPN gateway.

Figure 35.5: Example VPN topology used to illustrate configuration steps.

We have two VPN gateways, Alice and Bob, which are used to establish a secure
VPN tunnel between the central office network (192.168.10.0/24) and the branch
office network (192.168.11.0/24).

When using pre-shared key authentication, we first need to determine if Bob’s
outbound interface has a fixed address or not. This affects the choice of IKE main
mode
or aggressive mode, as discussed in

section 35.1.6.1

.

Sections 35.1.6.2

and

35.1.6.3

explain the configuration steps if aggressive mode or main mode is

used.
