The replication policy defines when updates performed on the ASA r2 cluster are replicated to the remote site. ONTAP includes various pre-defined data protection policies that you can use for your replication relationships.
If the pre-defined policies do not meet your needs, you can create a custom replication policy.
ASA r2 systems support the following pre-defined protection policies.
