      After creation and connection, ipsec VPN status shows one phase1 and two phase 2 connection.

        Impossible to say without more information there but that's not necessarily a problem.

        Can we assume that there is only one phase 2 config?

        If it's set to make before break for example that can still be fine. As long as it moves traffic to the new SA after it's created.

          If you just see two, it's probably OK and a normal part of (re)negotiation depending on which side does what.

          If you get more and they start piling up, then you might need to adjust the settings:
