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.
