The Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) profiles provide information about the algorithms that are used to authenticate, encrypt, and establish a shared secret between network sites when you establish an IPSec tunnel.
NSX provides system-generated IPSec profiles that are assigned by default when you configure an IPSec VPN or L2 VPN service. The following table lists the default IPSec profiles provided.
Name of Default IPSec Profile | Description |
---|---|
nsx-default-l2vpn-tunnel-profile |
|
nsx-default-l3vpn-tunnel-profile |

Instead of the default IPSec profile, you can also select one of the supported compliance suites. See About Supported Compliance Suites for more information.
If you decide not to use the default IPSec profiles or compliance suites provided, you can configure your own using the following steps.
