Ending IP Address/
Subnet Mask
When the Address Type field is configured to Single Address, this field is N/A.
When the Address Type field is configured to Range Address, enter the end
(static) IP address, in a range of computers on the network behind the remote
IPSec router. When the Address Type field is configured to Subnet Address,
enter a subnet mask on the network behind the remote IPSec router.
Authentication
Method
Pre-Shared Key Select the Pre-Shared Key radio button and 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.
Certificate Select the Certificate radio button to identify the ZyWALL by a certificate.
Use the drop-down list box to select the certificate to use for this VPN tunnel. You
must have certificates already configured in the My Certificates screen. Click My
Certificates to go to the My Certificates screen where you can view the
ZyWALL's list of certificates.
Local ID Type Select IP to identify this ZyWALL by its IP address.
Select DNS to identify this ZyWALL by a domain name.
Select E-mail to identify this ZyWALL by an e-mail address.
You do not configure the local ID type and content when you set Authentication
Method to Certificate. The ZyWALL takes them from the certificate you select.
Content When you select IP in the Local ID Type field, type the IP address of your
computer in the local Content field. The ZyWALL automatically uses the IP
address in the My IP Address field (refer to the My IP Address field description)
if you configure the local Content field to 0.0.0.0 or leave it blank.
It is recommended that you type an IP address other than 0.0.0.0 in the local
Content field or use the DNS or E-mail ID type in the following situations.
•
When there is a NAT router between the two IPSec routers.
• When you want the remote IPSec router to be able to distinguish between
VPN connection requests that come in from IPSec routers with dynamic WAN
IP addresses.
When you select DNS or E-mail in the Local ID Type field, type a domain name
or e-mail address by which to identify this ZyWALL in the local Content field. 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.
