What is the remote ID of IKEv2 VPN?

How do I connect to IKEv2 VPN?

When connecting to a Cisco IOS Router or access point using the IEEE 802.

1x standard, users are asked to provide a user ID and password. In Cisco IOS Release 12.3(5)T, you can now use the IKEv2 method to authenticate the connection.

The IKEv2 method is designed to provide security for your users by making it harder for unauthorized users to gain access to your network. Using the IKEv2 method, users must log in to the router using their user ID and password, or a token, instead of using the traditional RADIUS or PAP/CHAP-MD5 methods. You can configure your IOS devices to use this method, but be sure that you have IKEv2 enabled in the IOS software.

The IKEv2 authentication method is based on the Internet Key Exchange Protocol Version 2 (IKEv2) and is a major improvement over the IEEE 802.1x standard for securing wireless networks. In particular, IKEv2 offers the following benefits:

The requirement to have a RADIUS server on the network, which has been an additional cost to many organizations, is eliminated. The IKEv2 authentication method does not require that the RADIUS server reside on the router or access point. Instead, the router uses a lightweight authentication server that is installed and configured on the router. This server is responsible for performing the IKEv2 authentication method, rather than the RADIUS server on the network.

The new IKEv2 method is available only if the IOS device supports the IKEv2 capability flag. See the Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3T(4) Feature Information for Supported Protocol Features for complete information on supported features.

Note: Not all IOS software supports all features. To determine what is supported, see the feature information for your Cisco IOS release.

You can select this method as the method used to authenticate IKEv2 secure connections. Using the IKEv2 method, you can create a connection that provides security for your users when they connect to your network. For more information about using the IKEv2 method, see the "Configuring IKEv2 Authentication" section of this document.

What is the username and password for IKEv2 VPN?

The IKEv2 VPN username and password is the same as for IKEv1 VPN.

If you're using a non-Apple TV device, you'll need to open the IKEv2 Settings app on your Apple TV and enter your credentials there. Do I have to use my Apple ID to pay for the subscription? No. You don't need your Apple ID to subscribe to the service. You can subscribe using any email address.

Can I access the service even if I don't own an Apple TV? Yes. The service is available for free. You don't need an Apple TV to use the service.

What if I lose my Apple TV? If you lose your Apple TV, it's not a problem. You can get a replacement by visiting an Apple retail store or by ordering one online.

My Apple TV is a new model, so it doesn't have a SIM card slot. Will this work with the service? The new Apple TV does not have a SIM card slot, but you can use the service just like any other Apple TV. If you've upgraded your Apple TV from a previous model, you'll need to use a SIM card that has a nanoSIM slot.

How do I set up a new Apple TV? You can set up your Apple TV without connecting it to a network. Just follow the instructions in the section "Set up a new Apple TV" on this page.

Do I need to use a SIM card to connect to the service? You don't need a SIM card to use the service. I'm having trouble connecting to the service. What should I do? If you're having trouble connecting to the service, check the following: Make sure your Apple TV is connected to a network with a Wi-Fi signal strong enough to support the service. Make sure you're using the right username and password for the service. If you're using a non-Apple TV device, you'll need to enter your credentials in the IKEv2 Settings app.

If you're using a new Apple TV, you'll need to make sure you're using a SIM card with a nanoSIM slot. Is there a way to see my current location?
