initial-contact-payload

Configures sending an initial contact message to a peer for an Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) profile.
Syntax
initial-contact-payload
no initial-contact-payload
Command Default

No initial contact message is sent to a peer for an IKEv2 profile.

Modes

IKEv2 profile configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The initial contact message is sent to ensure that old security associations (SAs) on the peer are deleted. When a device reboots, peers may have security associations (SAs) that are no longer valid. The initial contact message ensures that any old SAs on the peer are deleted.

The no form of the command disables initial contact messages from being sent to a peer for an IKEv2 profile.

Examples
