Re: How to set an isalmp key

Eric, Sid and Travis,

Thank you very much for the help. I'll download the program to generate
a random key for peers. Actually a consultant of our customer selected
the "comanyname+vpn" as the key. I used to use a string "w920c7j@B356"
as the key.

Anyway thanks again for the help.

 

Roger

Hi All,
When configure a VPN tunnel on a Cisco router, how
to select a pre-share
key. 
 
Crypto isakmp key xxxvpn address 11.22.33.44
 
I saw some keys just use company name plus vpn like
the one above.
    

 
Use some random key generator that spews out a random
set of characters. Companyname+vpn is certainly a bad
idea.
