I've got a IPsec Tunnel that I want to disable for 1 month.  How can you disable the tunnel w/o removing the tunnel from the configuration?

 

Ver 5.6.5

 

Thanks!

    You can also change the VPN interface to DMZ by example. That also do the trick.

    config sys int

    edit <phase1-interface_name>

    set status down

    next

    end

     

    When you want to re-enable it, just do the same but with "set status up".

    Perfect!  Did the trick. 

    Thanks!

     

    I was looking in the "config vpn ..." settings.
