Renaming IPsec tunnels NEW

IPsec tunnels can be renamed. When you rename an IPsec tunnel, all references to the tunnel, such as routing and policies, are automatically updated to reflect the new name.

config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
    rename <string> to <string>
end

In this example, the IPsec tunnel named tofgtd is renamed to tofgtd-New, and all associated references are updated.

To rename an IPsec tunnel in the GUI:

1. Go to VPN > IPsec Tunnels and double-click an IPsec tunnel to open it for editing.

   In this example, the IPsec tunnel name is tofgtd.

   

2. In the Name box, type a new name, and click OK. The IPsec tunnel is renamed, and all associated references are updated.

   In this example, the IPsec tunnel is renamed to tofgtd-New.

   

3. Check the associated references:

   In this example, all associated references show the new IPsec tunnel name of tofgtd-New.

   • Go to Network > Interfaces to see that the interface references the new IPsec tunnel name.

     

   • Go to Network > Static Routes to see that the static route references the new IPsec tunnel name.

     

   • Go to Policy & Objects > Firewall Policy to see that the policy references the new IPsec tunnel name

     

To rename an IPsec tunnel in the CLI:

1. Rename the IPsec tunnel.

   In this example, the IPsec tunnel named tofgtd is renamed to tofgtd-New:

   config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
       rename tofgtd to tofgtd-New
   end

2. Show the configuration to confirm that the IPsec tunnel was renamed.

   In this example, the IPsec tunnel was renamed to tofgtd-New:

   show 
   config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
       edit "tofgtd-New"
           set interface "port3"
           set peertype any
           set net-device disable
           set proposal aes128-sha256 aes256-sha256 aes128-sha1 aes256-sha1
           set dpd disable
           set remote-gw 173.1.1.1
           ...
       next
   end

3. Check the associated references.

   In this example, all associated references show the new IPsec tunnel name of tofgtd-New.

   • Confirm that the interfaces reference the new IPsec tunnel name:

     config router static 
     show
     config router static
         edit 3
             set dst 192.168.5.0 255.255.255.0
             set device "tofgtd-New"
         next
     end

   • Confirm that the static route references the new IPsec tunnel name:

     config system interface 
     show
         edit "tofgtd-New"
         ....
     end

   • Confirm that the policies references the new IPsec tunnel name:

     config firewall policy 
     show
     config firewall policy
         edit 1
             set uuid 802c6c2e-8368-51ee-bf40-6c3c32da1024
             set srcintf "port2"
             set dstintf "tofgtd-New"
             set action accept
             ...
         next
         edit 2
             set uuid 80d136aa-8368-51ee-cc52-b0b06306fb80
             set srcintf "tofgtd-New"
             set dstintf "port2"
             set action accept
             ...
         next
     end
