The inbound key on one side of a connection must equal the outbound key on the opposite side of the connection.

The inbound AH session key must match the main office's outbound AH session key in order for the connection to be established. The inbound ESP session key matches the main office's inbound ESP session key and the outbound ESP session key matches the main office's inbound ESP session key:
