Managing VPN Policies
When you use the VPN Wizard to set up a VPN tunnel, both a VPN policy and an IKE policy are
established and populated in both policy tables. The name you selected as the VPN tunnel
connection name during Wizard setup identifies both the VPN policy and IKE policy. You can edit
existing policies, or add new VPN and IKE policies directly in the policy tables.
Configuring IKE Policies
The IKE (Internet Key Exchange) protocol performs negotiations between the two VPN gateways,
and provides automatic management of the keys used in IPsec. It is important to remember that:
“Auto” generated VPN policies must use the IKE negotiation protocol.
“Manual” generated VPN policies cannot use the IKE negotiation protocol.
Figure 5-17
Note: You cannot modify an IKE policy that is associated with an enabled VPN policy.
To modify the IKE policy, first disable the VPN policy. After you have modified
and saved the IKE policy, you can then re-enable the VPN policy.
