Abstract
A method for performing policy-based configuration of IPSec for a VPN is provided. According to one embodiment, a request for a VPN connection to be established between a network device and a peer network device is received by the network device from the peer network device. Responsive to receipt of the request, the VPN connection is established by the network device in accordance with a policy associated with the request without requiring manual entry of VPN settings by a network administrator of the network device. The policy includes multiple VPN settings for the VPN connection and is configured by a network administrator of the peer network device via a policy page displayed to the network administrator via a user interface of the peer network device.
