AES

 

 

Advanced Encryption Standard is a newer

 

 

method of data encryption that also uses a

18.3 My IP Address

My IP Address is the WAN IP address of the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device has to rebuild the VPN tunnel if My IP Address changes after setup.

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 address for the VPN tunnel when using dial backup or the LAN IP address when using traffic redirect. See Chapter 7 on page 101 for details on dial backup and traffic redirect.

18.4Secure Gateway Address

Secure Gateway Address is the WAN IP address or domain name of the remote IPSec router (secure gateway).
