What is vpIkActExchangeMode?

Selects the IKE Phase-1 exchange mode used when negotiating with a remote peer: main(1), which is slower but hides identity information, or aggressive(2), which is faster but exposes identities in the clear. Admins typically prefer main mode for stronger security, using aggressive mode mainly for interoperability with peers or dynamic-IP scenarios that require it.
