negotiates and establishes SA on behalf of IPSec, an IKE SA is used by IKE.

Phase 1 (IKE): To issue an initial connection request for a new VPN tunnel. The range can be from 5 to 15,000 minutes, and the default is 480 minutes.

Phase 2 (IPSec): To negotiate and establish secure authentication. The range can be from 5 to 15,000 minutes, and the default is 60 minutes.
