I haven't tried the Cisco IPsec option on an iDevice, but the L2TP/IPsec 
from an iPhone shows the following in my Openswan logs (using a PSK).

For Main Mode:
STATE_MAIN_R3: sent MR3, ISAKMP SA established 
{auth=OAKLEY_PRESHARED_KEY cipher=aes_256 prf=oakley_sha group=modp1024}

For Quick Mode:
STATE_QUICK_R2: IPsec SA established transport mode {ESP=>0x03f21869 
<0x62f408ce xfrm=AES_256-HMAC_SHA1 NATOA=none NATD=111.126.18.192:4500 
DPD=enabled}
