Re: OT - crypto isakmp identity

[Manjeet Chawla <manjeetc1@xxxxxxxxx>]

isakmp can use hostname or address as the identity. This command makes 
it easier to match the criteria in use. For example, some time it helps 
to use "crypto isakmp identity address" on a router to successfully 
negotiate a tunnel with PIX.

Refer to the URL provided by others, I am sure there are more details in 
there ....
