VPN Tunnel 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 W izard 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.

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” generate d VPN policies cannot use the IKE nego tiation protocol.
