6.7.2 Setting IKE Policies

Each IKE negotiation is divided into two phases. Phase 1 creates the first tunnel (protecting later IKE
negotiation messages) and phase 2 creates the tunnel protecting the data. To define the terms of the IKE
negotiation, create one or more IKE policies. Include the following:
• An authentication scheme to ensure the credentials of the peers
• An encryption scheme to protect the data
• A HMAC method to ensure the identity of the sender, and validate a message has not been altered
• A Diffie-Hellman group establishing the strength of the of the encryption-key algorithm.
• A time limit for how long the encryption key is used before it is replaced.
If IKE policies are not defined, the switch uses the default policy (with a default priority of 10001) and
contains the default values. When IKE negotiations begin, the peer initiating the negotiation sends its
policies to the remote peer. The remote peer searches for a match with its own policies using the defined
priority scheme.
