Dynamic configuration change support for IPsec gateway

All dynamic IPsec tunnels (dynamic LAN-to-LAN tunnels and remote-access tunnels) that terminate on the same IPsec gateway share the same configuration (config>service>sap>ipsec-gw). The SR OS provides dynamic configuration change capability to modify specific IPsec gateway configurations without impacting existing tunnels.

The following IPsec gateway configurations are dynamically configurable without shutting down the IPsec gateway:

Existing tunnels are not impacted by dynamic configuration changes. The system uses new configurations for new tunnel negotiations. The system continues to use previous configurations that created the tunnels for on-going operations (such as rekeying) of the existing tunnel.
