IPSec Key Mode

Select IKE or Manual from the drop-down list box. IKE provides more protection

so it is generally recommended. Manual is a useful option for troubleshooting if

you have problems using IKE key management.

Negotiation Mode

Select Main or Aggressive from the drop-down list box. Multiple SAs connecting

through a secure gateway must have the same negotiation mode.

Encapsulation

Mode

Select Tunnel mode or Transport mode from the drop-down list box.

DNS Server (for

IPSec VPN)

If there is a private DNS server that services the VPN, type its IP address here.

The ZyXEL Device assigns this additional DNS server to the ZyXEL Device's

DHCP clients that have IP addresses in this IPSec rule's range of local

addresses.
A DNS server allows clients on the VPN to find other computers and servers on

the VPN by their (private) domain names.

Local

Specify the IP addresses of the devices behind the ZyXEL Device that can use

the VPN tunnel. The local IP addresses must correspond to the remote IPSec

router's configured remote IP addresses.
Two active SAs cannot have the local and remote IP address(es) both the same.

Two active SAs can have the same local or remote IP address, but not both. You

can configure multiple SAs between the same local and remote IP addresses, as

long as only one is active at any time.

Local Address

Type

Use the drop-down menu to choose Single, Range, or Subnet. Select Single for

a single IP address. Select Range for a specific range of IP addresses. Select

Subnet to specify IP addresses on a network by their subnet mask.

address on the LAN behind your ZyXEL Device. When the Local Address Type

field is configured to Range, enter the beginning (static) IP address, in a range of

computers on your LAN behind your ZyXEL Device. When the Local Address

Type field is configured to Subnet, this is a (static) IP address on the LAN behind

your ZyXEL Device.

End / Subnet Mask When the Local Address Type field is configured to Single, this field is N/A.

When the Local Address Type field is configured to Range, enter the end

(static) IP address, in a range of computers on the LAN behind your ZyXEL

Device. When the Local Address Type field is configured to Subnet, this is a

subnet mask on the LAN behind your ZyXEL Device.

Remote

Specify the IP addresses of the devices behind the remote IPSec router that can

use the VPN tunnel. The remote IP addresses must correspond to the remote

IPSec router's configured local IP addresses.
Two active SAs cannot have the local and remote IP address(es) both the same.

Two active SAs can have the same local or remote IP address, but not both. You
