DESCRIPTION

Property

 

 

 

Name

Type up to 32 characters to identify this VPN gateway policy. You may use any

 

character, including spaces, but the ZyWALL drops trailing spaces.

 

 

NAT Traversal

Select this check box to enable NAT traversal. NAT traversal allows you to set up

 

a VPN connection when there are NAT routers between the two IPSec routers.

 

Note: The remote IPSec router must also have NAT traversal

 

enabled. See Section 14.3.1.5 on page 261 for more

 

information.

 

You can use NAT traversal with ESP protocol using Transport or Tunnel mode,

 

but not with AH protocol nor with manual key management. In order for an IPSec

 

router behind a NAT router to receive an initiating IPSec packet, set the NAT

 

router to forward UDP ports 500 and 4500 to the IPSec router behind the NAT

 

router.

 

 

Gateway Policy

 

Information

 

 

 

My ZyWALL

When the ZyWALL is in router mode, this field identifies the WAN IP address or

 

domain name of the ZyWALL. You can select My Address and enter the

 

ZyWALL's static WAN IP address (if it has one) or leave the field set to 0.0.0.0.

 

The ZyWALL 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.

 

Otherwise, you can select My Domain Name and choose one of the dynamic

 

domain names that you have configured (in the DDNS screen) to have the

 

ZyWALL use that dynamic domain name's IP address.

 

When the ZyWALL is in bridge mode, this field is read-only and displays the

 

ZyWALL’s IP address.

 

The VPN tunnel has to be rebuilt if the My ZyWALL IP address changes after

 

setup.

 

 

Primary Remote

Type the WAN IP address or the domain name (up to 31 characters) of the IPSec

Gateway

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.

 

In order to have more than one active rule with the Primary Remote Gateway

 

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 Primary Remote Gateway field

 

and the LAN’s full IP address range as the local IP address, then you cannot

 

configure any other active rules with the Primary Remote Gateway field set to

 

0.0.0.0.

 

 

Enable IPSec High

Turn on the high availability feature to use a redundant (backup) VPN connection

Availability

to another WAN interface on the remote IPSec router if the primary (regular) VPN

 

connection goes down. The remote IPSec router must have a second WAN

 

connection in order for you to use this.

 

To use this, you must identify both the primary and the redundant remote IPSec

 

routers by WAN IP address or domain name (you cannot set either to 0.0.0.0).

 

 

Redundant

Type the WAN IP address or the domain name (up to 31 characters) of the

Remote Gateway

backup IPSec router to use when the ZyWALL cannot connect to the primary

 

remote gateway.
