Phase 1 settings
Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a protocol used with VPN tunnels to manage keys automatically. IKE negotiates
and changes keys. Phase 1 authenticates the two sides and creates a key management security association to
protect tunnel data.
The default settings for Phase 1 are the same for all Firebox X Edge devices. Many users keep the factory
default settings.
Make sure that the Phase 1 configuration is the same on the two devices.
