P-202H Plus v2 User's Guide Table 37 VPN Rule Setup (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Local ID Type Select IP to identify this ZyXEL Device by its IP address. Select DNS to identify this ZyXEL Device by a domain name. Select E-mail to identify this ZyXEL Device by an e-mail address. Content When you select IP in the Local ID Type field, type the IP address of your computer in the local Content field. The ZyXEL Device 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 ZyXEL Device 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. My IP Address Enter the WAN IP address of your ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device 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. The VPN tunnel has to be rebuilt if this IP address changes. 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 E-mail 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 IP Address field (refer to the Secure Gateway IP Address field description). • For DNS or E-mail, 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 E-mail 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 IP 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 IPSec Keying Mode field must be set to IKE). In this case only the remote IPSec router can initiate the VPN. In order to have more than one active rule with the Secure Gateway IP 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 IP 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 IP Address field set to 0.0.0.0. 125 Chapter 11 VPN Screens

Chapter 11 VPN Screens
Local ID Type
Select
IP
to identify this ZyXEL Device by its IP address.
Select
DNS
to identify this ZyXEL Device by a domain name.
Select
E-mail
to identify this ZyXEL Device by an e-mail address.
Content
When you select
IP
in the
Local ID Type
field, type the IP address of your
computer in the local
Content
field. The ZyXEL Device 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 ZyXEL Device 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.
My IP Address
Enter the WAN IP address of your ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device 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
.
The VPN tunnel has to be rebuilt if this IP address changes.
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
E-mail
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 IP Address
field (refer to
the
Secure Gateway IP Address
field description).
For
DNS
or
E-mail
, 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
E-mail
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 IP
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
IPSec Keying Mode
field must be set to
IKE
). In this case only the remote IPSec router can initiate the
VPN.
In order to have more than one active rule with the
Secure Gateway IP 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 IP 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 IP Address
field set to
0.0.0.0
.
