My ZyWALL

When the ZyWALL is in router mode, enter the WAN IP address or the domain name
of your ZyWALL or leave the field set to 0.0.0.0.

For a ZyWALL with multiple WAN ports, the following applies if the My ZyWALL field
is configured as 0.0.0.0:

When the WAN port operation mode is set to Active/Passive, the ZyWALL uses the
IP address (static or dynamic) of the WAN port that is in use.

When the WAN port operation mode is set to Active/Active, the ZyWALL uses the IP
address (static or dynamic) of the primary (highest priority) WAN port to set up the
VPN tunnel as long as the corresponding WAN1 or WAN2 connection is up. If the
corresponding WAN1 or WAN2 connection goes down, the ZyWALL uses the IP
address of the other WAN port.

If both WAN connections go down, the ZyWALL 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.

A ZyWALL with a single WAN port uses its current WAN IP address (static or
dynamic) in setting up the VPN tunnel if you leave this field as 0.0.0.0. If the WAN
connection goes down, the ZyWALL uses the dial backup IP address for the VPN
tunnel when using dial backup or the LAN IP address when using traffic redirect.

The VPN tunnel has to be rebuilt if this IP address changes.

When the ZyWALL is in bridge mode, this field is read-only and displays the
ZyWALL’s IP address.
