P-793H User’s Guide

My IP Address
Enter the WAN IP address of your ZyXEL Device. The VPN tunnel has to be
rebuilt if this IP address changes.
The following applies if this field is configured as
0.0.0.0
:
The ZyXEL Device uses the current ZyXEL Device WAN IP address (static or
dynamic) to set up the VPN tunnel.
If the WAN connection goes down, the ZyXEL Device uses the dial backup IP
address for the VPN tunnel when using dial backup or the LAN IP address when
using traffic redirect. See the chapter on WAN for details on dial backup and
traffic redirect.
Peer ID Type
Select
IP
to identify the remote IPSec router by its IP address.
Select
DNS
to identify the remote IPSec router by a domain name.
Select
to identify the remote IPSec router by an e-mail address.
Content
The configuration of the peer content depends on the peer ID type.
For
IP
, type the IP address of the computer with which you will make the VPN
connection. If you configure this field to
0.0.0.0
or leave it blank, the ZyXEL
Device will use the address in the
Secure Gateway Address
field (refer to the
Secure Gateway Address
field description).
For
DNS
or
, type a domain name or e-mail address by which to identify
the remote IPSec router. Use up to 31 ASCII characters including spaces,
although trailing spaces are truncated. The domain name or e-mail address is for
identification purposes only and can be any string.
It is recommended that you type an IP address other than
0.0.0.0
or use the
DNS
or
ID type in the following situations:
When there is a NAT router between the two IPSec routers.
When you want the ZyXEL Device to distinguish between VPN connection
requests that come in from remote IPSec routers with dynamic WAN IP
addresses.
Secure Gateway
Address
Type the WAN IP address or the URL (up to 31 characters) of the IPSec router
with which you're making the VPN connection. Set this field to
0.0.0.0
if the
remote IPSec router has a dynamic WAN IP address (the
Key Management
field
must be set to
IKE
).
In order to have more than one active rule with the
Secure Gateway Address
field set to
0.0.0.0
, the ranges of the local IP addresses cannot overlap between
rules.
If you configure an active rule with
0.0.0.0
in the
Secure Gateway Address
field
and the LAN’s full IP address range as the local IP address, then you cannot
configure any other active rules with the
Secure Gateway Address
field set to
0.0.0.0
.
Security Protocol
VPN Protocol
Select
ESP
if you want to use ESP (Encapsulation Security Payload). The ESP
protocol (RFC 2406) provides encryption as well as some of the services offered
by
AH
. If you select
ESP
here, you must select options from the
Encryption
Algorithm
and
Authentication Algorithm
fields (described below).
Pre-Shared Key
Type your pre-shared key in this field. A pre-shared key identifies a
communicating party during a phase 1 IKE negotiation. It is called "pre-shared"
because you have to share it with another party before you can communicate with
them over a secure connection.
Type from 8 to 31 case-sensitive ASCII characters or from 16 to 62 hexadecimal
("0-9", "A-F") characters. You must precede a hexadecimal key with a "0x” (zero
x), which is not counted as part of the 16 to 62 character range for the key. For
example, in "0x0123456789ABCDEF", “0x” denotes that the key is hexadecimal
and “0123456789ABCDEF” is the key itself.
Both ends of the VPN tunnel must use the same pre-shared key. You will receive
a “PYLD_MALFORMED” (payload malformed) packet if the same pre-shared key
is not used on both ends.
