Viewing the Default VPN Settings
To view the default VPN settings:
STEP 1 Choose VPN > IPsec > Basic VPN Setup.
STEP 2 Click View Default Settings. Settings cannot be changed from this page, but can
be configured through the Basic VPN Setup or Advanced VPN Setup menus.
Configuring Advanced VPN Parameters
The Advanced VPN Setup page allows you to configure advanced VPN
parameters, such as IKE and other VPN policies. These policies control how the
Cisco RV180/RV180W initiates and receives VPN connections with other
endpoints.
Configuring IKE Policies
The Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol dynamically exchanges keys between
two IPsec hosts. You can create IKE policies to define the security parameters
such as authentication of the peer, encryption algorithms, etc. to be used in this
process. Be sure to use compatible encryption, authentication, and key-group
parameters for the VPN policy.
