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-mailID type in the following situations.

 

When there is a NAT router between the two IPSec routers.

connection requests that come in from IPSec routers with dynamic WAN IP

 

addresses.

 

When you select DNS or E-mailin the Local ID Type field, type a domain name

 

or e-mail address by which to identify this ZyXEL Device in the local Content

My IP Address

Enter the WAN IP address of your ZyXEL Device. The VPN tunnel has to be

The following applies if this field is configured as 0.0.0.0:

 

The ZyXEL Device uses the current ZyXEL Device WAN IP address (static or

 

dynamic) to set up the VPN tunnel.

 

If the WAN connection goes down, the ZyXEL Device uses the dial backup IP

using traffic redirect. See Chapter 7 on page 93 for details on dial backup and

 

traffic redirect.
