What is ikeFailReason?

Why this Phase-1 IKE negotiation failed, as one of 18 codes such as peerLost (3), authFailure (6), hashValidation (7), proposalFailure (11), peerCertNotValid (13), localCertExpired (14) or nonExistentSa (17). It is the first thing to read when a VPN will not come up: 6 usually points to a wrong key and 11 to mismatched IKE proposals.
