Refresh and Restart Behaviors

You can Refresh or Restart an IKE Gateway or IPSec Tunnel. The refresh and restart behaviors for an IKE gateway and IPSec tunnel are as follows:
Phase
Refresh
Restart
IKE Gateway (IKE Phase 1)

IKEv2: Also restarts any associated child IPSec security associations (SAs).
IKEv1: Does not restart the associated IPSec SAs.
A restart is disruptive to all existing sessions.
