switch(config-ike-ipsec)# policy 1
switch(config-ike-ipsec-policy)# authentication pre-share
The following example shows how to configure the authentication method using the RSA signatures.
switch(config-ike-ipsec-policy)# authentication rsa-sig
The following example shows how to revert to the default authentication method (preshared key).
switch(config-ike-ipsec-policy)# no authentication rsa-sig
