Description: Phase 1 can take place in either Main mode or Aggressive mode.
What is nsVpnGwInitMode?
This indicates which IKE Phase 1 negotiation mode, Main or Aggressive, this gateway uses to establish the VPN tunnel's initial security association. Admins care about this because Aggressive mode is faster but exposes more identity information in cleartext, while Main mode is slower but more secure, and dynamic-IP or dialup peers often require Aggressive mode. A value of aggressive(1) tells the admin this gateway is negotiating Phase 1 using the faster, less-secure mode, typical for dynamic-IP or dialup peers.
