ZyXEL Communications 2WG

ZyWALL 2WG Support Notes

The VPN high availability is design for securing VPN connection. Normally we will deploy the ZyWALL2

Plus as branch office or SOHO gateway and build up the VPN tunnel to central office. The design for IPSec HA

is based on the redundant gateway option implement on the ZyWALL2 Plus. In traditional design, the VPN

connection will be dropped once the remote gateway internet connection going down. ZyXEL already had Dual

WAN security gateway solution to prevent the failure of internet connection but for the VPN connection

transfers from primary WAN to backup WAN only support DDNS IP update before. ZyWALL2 Plus supports

redundant remote gateway to continue the VPN connection once the primary WAN connection failure. The

redundant gateway can be configured as IP format or Domain Name format, this provide the flexibility for

administrator to configure the network setting.
