Encryption

Encryption algorithm used for this VPN session. The VPN Client supports:

  • 56-bit DES (Data Encryption Standard)

  • 168-bit Triple-DES

  • AES 128-bit and 256-bit

Note: The VPN Client continues to support DES/MD5. However, support for DES/SHA is no longer available, and Release 3.7 VPN Clients cannot connect to any central-site device group that is configured for (or proposing) DES/SHA. The VPN Client must either connect to a different group or the system administrator for the central-site device must change the configuration from DES/SHA to DES/MD5 or another supported configuration. The Cisco VPN Client Administrator Guide lists all supported encryption configurations.

Authentication

Authentication algorithm used for this VPN session. The VPN Client supports:

  • HMAC-MD 5 (Hashed Message Authentication Coding with Message Digest 5 hash function)

  • HMAC-SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm hash function)

Transparent tunneling

Displays whether transparent tunneling is enabled; if enabled, lists the protocol and port number.

Local LAN

Displays whether Local LAN access (split tunneling) is enabled.
