vendor id

[vamsi <vamsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

   In  the  draft of   ' Extended Authentication within IKE (XAUTH)' it is written as

"   In order to ensure interoperability with

   future and past implementations of XAUTH a Vendor ID has been added.

   The Vendor ID payload is sent during the phase 1 exchange as per

   [ISAKMP].  The vendor id payload SHOULD be authenticated whenever

   possible.  "

  

   My  question  is  in which message  of  phase 1   exchange should  'vendor ID payload'  is  sent ?

  If the  phase 1  is in Main mode  then   in which message and if  it is Agressive Mode  then in which

message?

bye
