policy

Displays or modifies the encryption and authentication algorithms for security policies.

Synopsis

policy option type number [-enc method] [-auth algorithm] [-pfs value] [-dh group] [-seclife seconds]

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.

Note

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may
be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command
Availability"
for details.
