The configuration snippet in the image is a part of IKEv2 configuration where the name mangler is associated with the organizational unit (OU) “MANGLER”. In Cisco’s IKEv2 implementation, this specific configuration means that only an IKEv2 peer whose certificate has an OU attribute set to “MANGLER” can establish an IKEv2 Security Association successfully. This is a method of ensuring that only peers with certificates issued to a specific organizational unit can connect, enhancing security by limiting unauthorized access. The name mangler is a feature that allows the administrator to specify a string that must be present in the peer’s certificate for authentication. The name mangler can be applied to any certificate field, such as common name (CN), organization (O), or OU. The name mangler can also be used to modify the peer’s identity based on the certificate field, such as appending or prepending a string to the identity. The name mangler is configured under the IKEv2 profile using the command crypto ikev2 profile profile-name identity name-mangler name-mangler-name dn field-name. In this case, the name mangler is applied to the OU field of the peer’s certificate. The other options are incorrect because they do not describe the effect of the name mangler configuration. Option A is incorrect because the name mangler does not affect the identity matching for the IKEv2 authorization policy. The identity matching is based on the peer’s identity type and value, which can be different from the certificate field. Option C is incorrect because the name mangler does not encrypt the OU field of the peer’s certificate. The OU field is part of the certificate’s subject, which is not encrypted in the IKEv2 messages. Option D is incorrect because the name mangler does not set the OU field of the peer’s certificate. The OU field is determined by the certificate authority (CA) that issues the certificate, and the name mangler only verifies or modifies the peer’s identity based on the OU field. References : Configuring Internet Key Exchange Version 2, Internet Key Exchange Version 2 CLI Constructs, Tutorial: Setting up a certificate-based IKEv2 VPN connection (RSA)
