    Click to expand in new window
  2. Set the following Remote VPN Client Configuration settings:

    Shutdown

    Select this option to disable the remote VPN client. The default is disabled.

    Transform Set

    Use the drop-down menu to select the transform set to apply to remote client VPN connections. A transform set is a combination of security protocols, algorithms and other settings applied to IPSec protected client traffic.

  3. Refer to the Peer List to select IKEV2 peer configurations and assign them priorities for utilization with Remote VPN client connections.

    IKEv2 uses an initial handshake in which VPN peers negotiate cryptographic algorithms, mutually authenticate, and establish a session key, creating an IKE-SA. Additionally, a first IPsec SA is established during the initial SA creation. All IKEv2 messages are request/response pairs. It is the responsibility of the side sending the request to retransmit if it does not receive a timely response.

  4. Select OK to save the updates made to the Remote VPN Client screen. Selecting Reset reverts the screen to its last saved configuration.
