Usage Examples
The following example enables the AOS device to initiate IKE negotiation in main mode:
(config-ike)#initiate main
61200990L1-35E
Specifies to initiate using main mode. Main mode requires that each end of the
VPN tunnel has a static WAN IP address. Main mode is more secure than
aggressive mode because more of the main mode negotiations are encrypted.
Specifies to initiate using aggressive mode. Aggressive mode can be used when
one end of the VPN tunnel has a dynamically assigned address. The side with the
dynamic address must be the initiator of the traffic and tunnel. The side with the
static address must be the responder.
