VPN Phase 1 Policy

A VPN Phase 1 Policy defines IKE Phase 1 (ISAKMP) policy parameters. These parameters include the IKE version, encryption and integrity algorithms, Diffie-Hellman groups, lifetime settings, and authentication methods. Phase 1 policies are reusable and can be associated with multiple VPN profiles.

Nautobot users can create and manage VPN Phase 1 Policies to standardize the configuration of VPN tunnels across their network infrastructure. Additionally, several Phase 1 policies are available by default in Nautobot to facilitate quick setup.
