The Phase 1 negotiation process depends on which version of IKE the gateway endpoints use. If the two VPN gateways do not complete Phase 2 negotiations before the Phase 1 SA expires, then they must complete Phase 1 negotiations again. This SA is valid for a specified amount of time. When Phase 1 negotiations are completed, the two devices have a Phase 1 Security Association (SA). The devices identify each other and negotiate to find a common set of Phase 1 settings to use. In Phase 1 negotiations, the two VPN gateway devices exchange credentials. The Phase 1 and Phase 2 configurations must match for the devices on either end of the tunnel. This agreement is called a Security Association.

The purpose of Phase 2 negotiations is for the two peers to agree on a set of parameters that define what traffic can go through the VPN, and how to encrypt and authenticate the traffic. If Phase 1 fails, the devices cannot begin Phase 2. When Phase 1 finishes successfully, the peers quickly move on to Phase 2 negotiations. The main purpose of Phase 1 is to set up a secure encrypted channel through which the two peers can negotiate Phase 2.

VPN negotiations happen in two distinct phases: Phase 1 and Phase 2. One device in the negotiation sequence is the initiator and the other device is the responder. This process is known as VPN negotiations.

To build the VPN tunnel, IPSec peers exchange a series of messages about encryption and authentication, and attempt to agree on many different parameters. Thus the OpManager-Firewall Analyzer combination gives all the necessary tools for a security administrator to effectively handle the VPN operations.The devices at either end of an IPSec VPN tunnel are IPSec peers. With OpManager you can monitor VPN performance, track the health of all VPN links and monitor data transmission across VPN tunnels. If you want monitor both VPN bandwidth and performance, Firewall Analyzer is available as an add-on for OpManager ( VPN performance monitoring tool).
