how to define a Mode Config record, see Mode Config Operation on page 243.

 

Select one of the following radio buttons:

 

Yes. IP addresses are assigned to remote VPN clients. You need to select a

 

Mode Config record from the drop-down list.

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

 

endpoints are defined by their FQDNs.

 

No. Disables Mode Config for this IKE policy.

 

Note: You can use an IPv6 IKE policy to assign IPv4 addresses to clients through

 

a Mode Config record, but you cannot assign IPv6 addresses to clients.
