Defining Profile Auto IPSec Tunnel Settings

IPSec tunnels are established to secure traffic, data and management traffic, from access points to remote wireless controllers. Secure tunnels must be established between access points and the wireless controller with minimum configuration pushed through DHCP option settings.

Note

WiNG 7.1 release is not supported on AP505i and AP510i model access points. This feature will be supported in future releases,

To define or override a profile's Auto IPSec tunnel configuration:

1. Select Configuration > Devices > System Profile from the web UI.
2. Expand the Security menu and select Auto IPSec Tunnel.
   

   Profile Security - Auto IPSec Tunnel Screen

   
3. Refer to the following table to configure the Auto IPSec Tunnel settings:

   Group ID	Configure the ID string used for IKE authentication. String length can be between 1 and 64 characters.
   Authentication Type	Set the IPSec Authentication Type. Options include PSK (Pre Shared Key) or RSA.
   Authentication Key	Set the common key for authentication between the remote tunnel peer. Key length is between 8 and 21 characters
   IKE Version	Configure the IKE version to use. The available options are ikev1-main, ikev1- aggr and ikev2.
   Enable NAT after IPSec	Select this option to enable NAT after IPSec. Enable this if there are NATted networks behind VPN tunnels.
   Use Unique ID	In scenarios where different access points behind different NAT boxes and routers have the same IP address, it is not possible to create a tunnel between the wireless controller and the access point because the wireless controller does not identify the access point uniquely. When this option is selected, each access point behind a same NAT box or router will have an unique ID which is used to create the VPN tunnel.
   Re-Authentication	Select this option to re-authenticate the key on a IKE rekey. This setting is disabled by default.
   IKE Life Time	Set a lifetime in either seconds (600 - 86,400), minutes (10 - 1,440), hours (1 - 24), or days (1) for IKE security association duration. The default setting is 8600 seconds.

4. Click OK to save the changes made in the Auto IPSec Tunnel screen.
