Chapter 12 IPSec VPN
P-2812HNU-51c User’s Guide
273
IPSec routers that have dynamic WAN IP addresses. The P-2812HNU-51c can
distinguish up to 48 incoming SAs because you can select between three
encryption algorithms (DES, 3DES and AES), two authentication algorithms (MD5
and SHA1) and eight key groups when you configure a VPN rule (see Section 12.3
on page 255). The ID type and content act as an extra level of identification for
incoming SAs.
The type of ID can be a domain name, an IP address or an e-mail address. The
content is the IP address, domain name, or e-mail address.
