Item Description
Encapsulation Type Specify the encapsulation type from the following:
•
[Transport]: Select this mode to secure only the payload section of

encryption and authentication of packets, including packet headers.
Note that you cannot specify this protocol when [Tunnel] is selected
for [Encapsulation Type].
Authentication
Algorithm for AH
Specify the authentication algorithm to be applied when [AH] or [ESP&AH]
is selected for [Security Protocol] from the following:
[MD5], [SHA1]
Encryption Algorithm
for ESP
