Refresh or Restart an IKE Gateway or IPSec Tunnel
You can refresh or restart an IKE gateway or IPSec tunnel. The refresh and restart behaviors for an IKE gateway and IPSec tunnel are as follows:
Phase | Refresh | Restart |
|---|---|---|
IKE Gateway (IKE Phase 1) | Updates the onscreen statistics for the selected IKE gateway. Equivalent to issuing a second show show | Restarts the selected IKE gateway. IKEv2 : Also restarts any associated child IPSec security associations (SAs).IKEv1 : Doesn’t restart the associated IPSec SAs.A restart is disruptive to all existing sessions. Equivalent to issuing a clear test show |
IPSec Tunnel (IKE Phase 2) | Updates the onscreen statistics for the selected IPSec tunnel. Equivalent to issuing a second show show | Restarts the IPSec tunnel. A restart is disruptive to all existing sessions. Equivalent to issuing a clear test show |
Keep in mind that the result of restarting an IKE gateway depends on whether its IKEv1 or IKEv2.
