The Generate IPsec Peer Certificate mask is displayed. You can edit the following fields:
● Passphrase for encryption: Enter a password that you have defined (with at least seven
characters) in this field. This password is requested if you want to import or view a
PKCS#12 file.
● Reenter Passphrase for encryption: Repeat the password specified above in this field.
● Serial Number of Certificate: Enter a serial number that you defined in this field. The num-
ber must be a positive integer.

tificate name is used for the file name. Enter .p12 as the file extension.

see Section 7.2.5.2, "Activate the Configured VPN Tables".
