VPN Phase 2 Policy

A VPN Phase 2 Policy defines IPSec Phase 2 policy parameters. These parameters include the encapsulation mode, encryption and integrity algorithms, PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy) groups, and lifetime settings. Phase 2 policies are reusable and can be associated with multiple VPN profiles.

Nautobot users can create and manage VPN Phase 2 Policies to standardize the configuration of VPN tunnels across their network infrastructure. Additionally, several Phase 2 policies are available by default in Nautobot to facilitate quick setup.

Name Encryption Algorithm Integrity Algorithm PFS Group Lifetime (seconds)
High-Security Policy AES-256-GCM SHA512 21 1800
Standard Policy AES-256-CBC SHA256 14 3600
Performance-Oriented Policy AES-128-CBC SHA256 - 3600
Remote Access Policy AES-256-CBC SHA256 19 1800
