Description If the initiator uses its GW name in IKE negotiation (that is, id-type name is used), it
sends the name to the peer as its identity, whereas the peer uses the username
configured using the
remote-name name command to authenticate the initiator. To
pass authentication, this remote name must be the same one configured using the
ike local-name command on the gateway at the initiator end.
