About the IKE Policy Table
When you use the VPN Wizard to set up a VPN tunnel, an IKE policy is established and populated
in the List of IKE Policies and is given the same name as the new VPN connection name. You can
also edit exiting policies or add new IKE policies directly on the List of IKE Policies. Each policy
contains the following data:
•
Policy Name
