How did Ike handle the Vietnam war?

Eisenhower never briefed Kennedy on Vietnam when he took over office. Which surprised JFK when Vietnam began to fester; Ike had briefed Kennedy on Laos!

No one, not the military, not the civilians, probably not even the CIA and other covert organizations believed Vietnam would erupt into what it did.
