Internet Key Exchange
The help topics in this section describe the Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
configuration screens.
Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a standard method for arranging for secure,
authenticated communications. IKE establishes session keys (and associated
cryptographic and networking configuration) between two hosts across the
network.
Cisco SDM lets you create IKE policies that will protect the identities of peers
during authentication. Cisco SDM also lets you create pre-shared keys that peers
exchange.
