IPsecALG resources will remain in use even after IPsec clients switch to NAT-T and do not send ESP packets. ESP connections will be setup, but not used. They will remain until the 'idle-timeout' specified in the IPsecALG profile has been reached. Translation endpoints will be unavailable until the 'idle-timeout' specified in the IPsecALG profile has been reached.
IPsec clients that are not using NAT-T will not be able to establish connections if the translation addresses are in use to the same server. This condition will clear after the IPsecALG profile 'idle-timeout' expires.
An IPsecALG profile is attached to a UDP virtual to handle IKE traffic with LSN or AFM FW-NAT enabled. IPsec clients detect the NAT and transition to NAT-T instead of sending ESP packets.
