Advanced configuration options for site-to-site VPN at NetworkSite-to-site VPNAdvanced Options include:
Configuration Description
Use dead peer detection Dead peer detection identifies inactive or unavailable IKE peers through ICMP ping and can help restore resources that are lost when a peer is unavailable. Selecting Use dead peer detection reestablishes VPN tunnels on idle connections and cleans up dead IKE peers if required. Use this option to receive notifications whenever a tunnel goes up or down, or to keep the tunnel connection open when no traffic is being generated inside the tunnel. For example, in scenarios where a dynamic DNS peer connects from an IP address that changes periodically, traffic may suspend while the IP address changes.
IKE Debugging Select the check boxes of the following IKE debug options:
  • Control—Shows IKE decision making
  • Emitting—Shows the structure of output messages
  • Parsing—Shows the structure of input messages
  • Raw—Shows the raw bytes of messages
  • Crypt—Shows the encryption and decryption status of messages
Current local public RSA key Displays the current public portion of the local RSA key in a format that can be copied and specified into remote devices that use IPsec RSA authentication.
Regenerate local RSA Key Regenerates the local RSA key with a different key length and overwrites the currently installed RSA key.
