When creating a site to site VPN, what should the policy type be set to?

When setting up a site-to-site VPN, the policy type must be configured as site-to-site. This type of policy is specifically designed to create a secure connection between two different networks or locations, allowing them to communicate as if they are on the same local network.

Using a site-to-site policy enables the firewall to manage the encryption and secure traffic flow between the two sites automatically, facilitating seamless business operations and connectivity. This configuration supports multiple users or devices at each location, making it ideal for larger organizational setups where entire networks need to be interconnected.

Other options, such as client-to-site, refer to VPN configurations that connect individual remote users to a central network, which is not the intended purpose when creating a site-to-site VPN. Dynamic and static options typically relate to how the connection might be established or maintained, but they don’t pertain directly to the connection type needed for inter-site networking. Thus, setting the policy type to site-to-site is essential for achieving the desired secure communication between different network locations.
