Configuring an IPsec Proposal

An IPsec proposal determines the authentication and encryption algorithms, lifetime for the authentication and encryption keys, and the protocols to be negotiated with the remote IPsec peer.

To configure an IPsec proposal:

  1. Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
  2. Perform the configuration tasks described in Table 32.
  3. Go on to Configuring an IPsec Policy.

Table 32: Configuring IPsec Proposal

Task

J-Web Configuration Editor

CLI Configuration Editor

Navigate to the Services>Ipsec vpn>IPsec level in the configuration hierarchy.

  1. In the J-Web interface, select Configuration>View and Edit>Edit Configuration.
  2. Next to Services, click Configure or Edit.
  3. Next to Ipsec vpn, click Configure.
  4. Next to Ipsec, click Configure.

From the [edit] hierarchy level, enter

edit services ipsec-vpn ipsec

Configure an IPsec proposal—for example, ipsec-dynamic-proposal—that defines the authentication and encryption algorithms, the lifetime of the keys, and the protocol.

  1. Next to Proposal, click Add new entry.
  2. In the Name box, type ipsec-dynamic-proposal.

Enter

set proposal ipsec-dynamic-proposal

Configure the authentication algorithm—for example, hmac-md5-96.

In the Authentication algorithm box, select hmac-md5-96.

Enter

set proposal ipsec-dynamic-proposal authentication-algorithm hmac-md5-96

Configure an encryption algorithm—for example, 3des-cbc.

In the Encryption algorithm box, select 3des-cbc.

Enter

set proposal ipsec-dynamic-proposal encryption-algorithm 3des-cbc

Configure the lifetime (in seconds) of the encryption and authentication keys—for example, 3600.

In the Lifetime seconds box, type 3600.

Enter

set proposal ipsec-dynamic-proposal lifetime-seconds 3600

Configure the protocol to be used for key negotiations—for example, esp.

  1. In the Protocol box, select esp.
  2. Click OK until you return to the main Configuration page.

Enter

set proposal ipsec-dynamic-proposal protocol esp
