Description The article describes how to change the VPN profile name without clearing the reference.
Scope FortiOS v7.4.2.
Solution

Starting from v7.4.2, there is a new feature implemented to change the VPN tunnel name without clearing/deleting the reference.

 

config vpn ipsec phase1-interface

(phase1-interface) # rename <old-tunnel-name> to <new-tunnel-name>

(phase1-interface) # end

 

For example:

 

config vpn ipsec phase1-interface

(phase1-interface)# rename TestTunnel2 to Ipsec-VPN

(phase1-interface)# end

Once the name is changed, it will be reflected on the routing, policy, etc.
