Setting Description
Mode Config Record
Do you want to use
Mode Config Record?
Specify whether the IKE policy uses a Mode Config record. For information about
how to define a Mode Config record, see Mode Config Operation on page 312.
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.
Because Mode Config functions only in Aggressive mode, selecting the Yes
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.
Select Mode
Config Record
From the drop-down list, select one of the Mode Config
records that you defined on the Add Mode Config Record
screen (see Configure Mode Config Operation on the UTM on
page 312).
Note: Click the View Selected button to open the Selected
Mode Config Record Details pop-up screen.
General
Policy Name A descriptive name of the IKE policy for identification and management purposes.
Note: The name is not supplied to the remote VPN endpoint.
Direction / Type From the drop-down list, select the connection method for the UTM:
• Initiator. The UTM initiates the connection to the remote endpoint.
• Responder. The UTM responds only to an IKE request from the remote
endpoint.
• Both. The UTM can both initiate a connection to the remote endpoint and
respond to an IKE request from the remote endpoint.
Exchange Mode From the drop-down list, select the mode of exchange between the UTM and the
remote VPN endpoint:
• Main. This mode is slower than the Aggressive mode but more secure.
• Aggressive. This mode is faster than the Main mode but less secure.
Note: If you specify either an FQDN or a user FQDN name as the local ID or
remote ID (see the Identifier Type sections later in this table), the Aggressive mode
is automatically selected.
