Session Idle Time Set the idle timeout for the DVPN Spoke-Spoke tunnel.

attempts for sending keepalive packets when there is no response.

7. Specify whether to enable IPsec.
An IPsec profile can be used to secure the transmission of data packets and control packets over
a DVPN tunnel. It uses ESP or AH and employs IKE for security policy negotiation.
If you select this option, you can perform the IPsec configuration. Table 64 describes the IPsec
configuration items in detail.

Authentication Method
Specify an authentication method for IKE negotiation.
• Pre-Shared Key—Uses the pre-shared key authentication method. If
you select this method, you must configure the pre-shared key. Make
sure that the configured key and the confirmed key are the same.
• Certificate—Uses the digital signature authentication method. If you
select this method, you must select a subject of the local certificate.
Available local certificates are those configured in VPN > Certificate
Management.
Gateway ID
Remote ID
Type
Select the remote ID type for IKE
negotiation phase 1.
• IP Address—Uses the remote-end IP
address of the DVPN session as the ID
in IKE negotiation.
• Gateway Name—Uses the gateway
name in the FQDN type as the ID in
IKE negotiation. If you select this type,
specify the remote gateway ID.
IMPORTANT:
• If the IKE negotiation
initiator uses the local ID
type of gateway name
as the ID for IKE
negotiation, it sends its
gateway ID to the peer.
The peer uses the locally
configured remote
gateway ID to
authenticate the initiator.
Therefore, make sure
that the remote gateway
ID specified here is
identical to the local
gateway ID specified on
its peer.
• In main mode, only the
ID type of IP address can
be used in IKE
negotiation and SA
establishment.
Local ID Type
Select the local ID type for IKE
negotiation phase 1.
• IP Address: Uses the local-end IP
address of the DVPN session as the ID
in IKE negotiation.
• Gateway Name: Uses the gateway
name in the FQDN type as the ID in
IKE negotiation. If you select this type,
you need to specify the local gateway
ID, which is a string without the at
sign (@), such as foo.bar.com.
