 Phase 1 Hashes Loaded lists the authentication hashes that tunnels can be configured 
with for Phase 1 negotiations. This includes MD5 and SHA. 
 Diffie Hellman Groups Loaded lists the Diffie Hellman groups and Oakley group 
extensions that can be configured for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 negotiations. 
 Connection Details lists an overview of the tunnel's configuration. It contains the 
following information: 
•  An outline of the tunnel's network setup.  In this example, it is 
192.168.2.0/24===209.0.0.2(branch@office)...209.0.0.1===192.168.1.0/24 
•  Phase 1 and Phase 2 key lifetimes (ike_life and ipsec_life respectively).  In this 
example, they are both 3600s. 
•  Type of automatic (IKE) keying.  In this example, the policy line displays 
AGGRESSIVE. For Main mode, it displays MAIN. 
•  Type of authentication used. In this example, the policy line displays PSK 
(Preshared Key). For RSA Digital Signatures or x.509 certificates, it displays 
RSA. 
•  Whether Perfect Forward Secrecy is used. In this example, the policy line has 
the PFS keyword. If PFS is disabled, the keyword does not appear. 
•  Whether IP Payload Compression is used.  In this example, the policy line does 
not have the COMPRESS keyword since it has not been enabled. 
•  The interface on which the tunnel is going out. In this example, the interface line 
has eth1, which is the Internet interface. 
•  The current Phase 1 key. This is the number that corresponds to the newest 
ISAKMP SA field. In this example, phase 1 has not be successfully negotiated, 
so there is no key yet. 
•  The current Phase 2 key. This is the number that corresponds to the newest 
IPSec SA field. In this example, phase 1 has not be successfully negotiated, so 
there is no key yet. 
•  The Phase 1 proposal wanted. The line IKE algorithms wanted reads 5_000-2-
2. The 5_000 refers to cipher 3DES (where 3DES has an id of 5, see Phase 1 
Ciphers Loaded), the first 2 refer to hash SHA (where SHA has an id of 2, see 
Phase 1 Hashes Loaded) and the second 2 refer to the Diffie Hellman Group 2 
(where Diffie Hellman Group 2 has an id of 2).
