Configuring the Encryption Algorithm for an IPSec Proposal

To configure the IPSec encryption algorithm, include the encryption-algorithm statement at the [edit security ipsec proposal ipsec-proposal-name] hierarchy level:



[edit security ipsec proposal ipsec-proposal-name]

encryption-algorithm (3des-cbc | des-cbc);

The encryption algorithm can be one of the following:

3des-cbc—Encryption algorithm that has a block size of 24 bytes; its key size is 192 bits long.
des-cbc—Encryption algorithm that has a block size of 8 bytes; its key size is
48 bits long.

Note: We recommend that you use the triple DES cipher block chaining (3DES-CBC) encryption algorithm.
