policy (Security Group VPN IKE)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure an IKE policy. An IKE policy defines a combination of security parameters (IKE proposals) to be used during IKE negotiation. It defines a peer address, the preshared key for the given peer, and the proposals needed for that connection. During the IKE negotiation, IKE looks for an IKE policy that is the same on both peers. The peer that initiates the negotiation sends all its policies to the remote peer, and the remote peer tries to find a match.

Options

policy policy-name

Name of the IKE policy. The policy name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long.

description description

Specify descriptive text for an IKE policy.

pre-shared-key

Define a preshared key for an IKE policy. Preshared keys are used to secure the Phase 1 SAs between the root-server and the sub-servers and between the sub-servers and the group members. Ensure that the preshared keys used are strong keys. On the sub-servers, the preshared key configured for the IKEpolicy RootSrv must match the preshared key configured on the root-server, and the preshared key configured for the IKE policy GMs must match the preshared key configured on the group members.
