DESCRIPTION

 

 

Local Content

When you select IP in the Local ID Type field, type the IP address of

 

 

 

your computer in the Local Content field. The NBG-460N

 

 

 

automatically uses the IP address in the My IP Address field (refer to

 

 

 

the My IP Address field description) 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 Domain Name or E-mail ID type

 

 

 

in the following situations.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

• When you want the remote IPSec router to be able to distinguish

 

 

 

between VPN connection requests that come in from IPSec routers

 

 

 

with dynamic WAN IP addresses.

 

 

 

When you select Domain Name or E-mail in the Local ID Type field,

 

 

 

type a domain name or e-mail address by which to identify this NBG-

 

 

 

460N in the Local Content field. Use up to 31 ASCII characters

 

 

 

including spaces, although trailing spaces are truncated. The domain

 

 

 

name or e-mail address is for identification purposes only and can be

 

 

 

any string.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secure Gateway

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

 

 

Address

the IPSec 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 (the IPSec Keying Mode field must be set to IKE).

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

Note: You can also enter a remote secure gateway’s domain name

 

 

 

in the Secure Gateway Address field if the remote secure

 

 

 

gateway has a dynamic WAN IP address and is using

 

 

 

DDNS. The NBG-460N has to rebuild the VPN tunnel each

 

 

 

time the remote secure gateway’s WAN IP address changes

 

 

 

(there may be a delay until the DDNS servers are updated

 

 

 

with the remote gateway’s new WAN IP address).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peer ID Type

Select IP to identify the remote IPSec router by its IP address.

 

 

 

Select Domain Name to identify the remote IPSec router by a domain

 

 

 

name.

 

 

 

Select E-mailto identify the remote IPSec router by an e-mail

 

 

 

address.
