DESCRIPTION Use this command to display or modify the encryption and authentication algorithms for security policies.
You can configure a maximum of 32 Internet key exchange (IKE) and 32 Internet protocol security
(IPSec) policies.
Each FCIP tunnel is configured separately and may have the same or different IKE and IPSec policies.
Policies cannot be altered. To change the parameters associated with a current IKE or IPSec policy, that
policy must be deleted and re-created with new parameters.
A policy cannot be deleted while an active FCIP tunnel is using it.
