        Specifies which version of IKE is used.
        
       
        If the system you are configuring is the IPsec initiator, and you select both versions, the system tries using IKEv2 for negotiation. If the remote peer does not support IKEv2, the IPsec tunnel fails. To use IKEv1 in this case, you must deselect Version 2 and try again.
        
       
        If the system you are configuring is the IPsec responder, and you select both versions, the IPsec initiator system determines which IKE version to use.
        
       
        When creating a new IKE peer, this value is required.

Notes
Note
- For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
 - Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
 - The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
