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.

IKE Policy

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.
