True or False: Predefined default IKE and IPsec cryptographic profiles on a firewall can be used to establish a site-to-site VPN tunnel without requiring the administrator to create custom profiles.
Answer
True
Explanation
### Why this is right
The lab explicitly says to inspect the default IKE and IPsec crypto configurations and use the default rather than create new profiles. Reviewing the profiles means noting the specified algorithms, groups, lifetimes, and protocol values shown in the firewall.
### The concept
Cryptographic profiles define the security parameters available to a VPN negotiation. The lab's task is to inspect the defaults and select the default IPsec crypto profile when creating the tunnel. It does not direct students to invent or replace those settings.
### The other options
- **true**: This would describe a lab that required custom profiles, but the supplied instructions say to use the defaults.
### Terms
- **IKE**: Internet Key Exchange. Negotiates VPN security associations.
- **IPsec**: Internet Protocol Security. Protects IP traffic.
### Remember
Inspect the default profiles, then use the specified default profile.
