Do you want to use
Mode Config
Record?
Specify whether or not the IKE policy uses a Mode Config Record. For
information about how to define a Mode Config Record, see “Mode Config
Operation” on page 5-44. Select one of the following radio buttons:
• Yes. IP addresses are assigned to remote VPN clients. You must select a Mode
Config record from the pull-down menu.
Note: Because Mode Config functions only in Aggressive Mode, selecting the
Yes radio button sets the tunnel exchange mode to Aggressive mode and
disables the Main mode. Mode Config also requires that both the local and
remote ends are defined by their FQDNs.
• No. Disables Mode Config for this IKE policy.
Note: An XAUTH configuration via an edge device is not possible without Mode
Config and is therefore disabled too. For more information about XAUTH, see
“Configuring Extended Authentication (XAUTH)” on page 5-39.
