Create custom internet key exchange (IKE) Profile

Create custom internet key exchange (IKE) Profile. IKE Profile is a reusable profile that captures IKE and phase one negotiation parameters. System will be pre provisioned with system owned non editable default IKE profile and suggested set of profiles that can be used for peering with popular remote peers like AWS VPN. User can create custom profiles as needed. Any change in profile affects all sessions consuming this profile.

_last_modified_time	Timestamp of last modification	EpochMsTimestamp	Readonly Sortable
_last_modified_user	ID of the user who last modified this resource	string	Readonly
_links	References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.	array of ResourceLink	Readonly
_protection	Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.	int

id	Unique identifier of this resource	string	Sortable
ike_version	IKE version IKE protocol version to be used. IKE-Flex will initiate IKE-V2 and responds to both IKE-V1 and IKE-V2.	string	Enum: IKE_V1, IKE_V2, IKE_FLEX Default: "IKE_V2"
resource_type	Must be set to the value IPSecVPNIKEProfile	string
sa_life_time	Security association (SA) life time Life time for security association. Default is 86400 seconds (1 day).	integer	Minimum: 21600 Maximum: 31536000 Default: "86400"
