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 7-43. 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 7-38.
