| Description |
|---|
| Use of IKEv2 leverages DoS protections because of improved bandwidth management and leverages more secure encryption algorithms. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify only IKEv2 is used for the IKE security configuration on all configured gateways. Use of IKEv1 mitigates the risk to a CAT III finding. Show security ike gateway <VPN-GATEWAY> If IKEv2 is not used for IKE associations, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| For site-to-site VPNs, configure the Juniper SRX to use IKEv2 only. [edit] set security ike gateway <VPN-GATEWAY> address <GW-IP-ADDRESS> set security ike gateway <VPN-GATEWAY> version v2-only |
