The two VPN firewalls need compatible peer information and cryptographic settings.
Answer
true
Explanation
### Why this is right
The peers must agree on the parameters needed to identify each other and negotiate protection. If key or cryptographic settings do not match, negotiation may fail.
### The concept
The IKE gateway contains peer-related details, while the IPsec configuration includes protection settings. Each side is configured independently, so matching relevant values is necessary for the pair to communicate. The lab uses IKEv2 and default IKE and IPsec cryptographic profiles.
### Terms
- **IKE**: Internet Key Exchange, which negotiates VPN security associations.
- **IPsec**: Internet Protocol Security, which protects traffic.
### Remember
A VPN is a paired configuration, so both ends must be compatible.
