DESCRIPTION

DNS Server (for

If there is a private DNS server that services the VPN, type its IP address here.

IPSec VPN)

The ZyXEL Device assigns this additional DNS server to the ZyXEL Device's

 

DHCP clients that have IP addresses in this IPSec rule's range of local addresses.

 

A DNS server allows clients on the VPN to find other computers and servers on

 

the VPN by their (private) domain names.

 

 

Local Policy

Local IP addresses must be static and correspond to the remote IPSec router's

 

configured remote IP addresses.

 

Two active SAs can have the same configured local or remote IP address, but not

 

both. You can configure multiple SAs between the same local and remote IP

 

addresses, as long as only one is active at any time.

 

In order to have more than one active rule with the Secure Gateway 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 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 Address field set to

 

0.0.0.0.

 

 

Local Address

For a single IP address, enter a (static) IP address on the LAN behind your ZyXEL

 

Device.

 

For a specific range of IP addresses, enter the beginning (static) IP address, in a

 

range of computers on your LAN behind your ZyXEL Device.

 

To specify IP addresses on a network by their subnet mask, enter a (static) IP

 

address on the LAN behind your ZyXEL Device.

 

 

Local Address

When the local IP address is a single address, type it a second time here.

End /Mask

When the local IP address is a range, enter the end (static) IP address, in a range

 

of computers on the LAN behind your ZyXEL Device.

 

When the local IP address is a subnet address, enter a subnet mask on the LAN

 

behind your ZyXEL Device.

 

 

Local Port Start

0 is the default and signifies any port. Type a port number from 0 to 65535. Some

 

of the most common IP ports are: 21, FTP; 53, DNS; 23, Telnet; 80, HTTP; 25,

 

SMTP; 110, POP3.

 

 

Local Port End

Enter a port number in this field to define a port range. This port number must be

 

greater than that specified in the previous field. If Local Port Start is left at 0,

 

Local Port End will also remain at 0.

Remote Policy

Remote IP addresses must be static and correspond to the remote IPSec router's

 

configured local IP addresses. The remote fields do not apply when the Secure

 

Gateway IP Address field is configured to 0.0.0.0. In this case only the remote

 

IPSec router can initiate the VPN.

 

Two active SAs cannot have the local and remote IP address(es) both the same.

 

Two active SAs can have the same local or remote IP address, but not both. You

 

can configure multiple SAs between the same local and remote IP addresses, as

 

long as only one is active at any time.

 

 

Remote Address

For a single IP address, enter a (static) IP address on the network behind the

 

remote IPSec router.

 

For a specific range of IP addresses, enter the beginning (static) IP address, in a

 

range of computers on the network behind the remote IPSec router.

 

To specify IP addresses on a network by their subnet mask, enter a (static) IP

 

address on the network behind the remote IPSec router.
