Table 101 VPN Rules (IKE): Gateway Policy: Edit

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

 

Property

 

 

 

Name

Type up to 32 characters to identify this VPN gateway policy. You may use any

 

character, including spaces, but the ZyWALL drops trailing spaces.

NAT Traversal

Select this check box to enable NAT traversal. NAT traversal allows you to set up

 

a VPN connection when there are NAT routers between the two IPSec routers.

 

Note: The remote IPSec router must also have NAT traversal

 

enabled. See Section 19.6 on page 306 for more

 

information.

 

You can use NAT traversal with ESP protocol using Transport or Tunnel mode,

 

but not with AH protocol nor with manual key management. In order for an IPSec

 

router behind a NAT router to receive an initiating IPSec packet, set the NAT

 

router to forward UDP port 500 to the IPSec router behind the NAT router.

Gateway Policy

 

Information

 

My ZyWALL

When the ZyWALL is in router mode, this field identifies the WAN IP address or

 

domain name of the ZyWALL. You can select My Address and enter the

 

ZyWALL's static WAN IP address (if it has one) or leave the field set to 0.0.0.0.

 

For a ZyWALL with multiple WAN ports, the following applies if the My ZyWALL

 

field is configured as 0.0.0.0:

 

• When the WAN port operation mode is set to Active/Passive, the ZyWALL

 

uses the IP address (static or dynamic) of the WAN port that is in use.

 

• When the WAN port operation mode is set to Active/Active, the ZyWALL

 

uses the IP address (static or dynamic) of the primary (highest priority) WAN

 

port to set up the VPN tunnel as long as the corresponding WAN1 or WAN2

 

connection is up. If the corresponding WAN1 or WAN2 connection goes down,

 

the ZyWALL uses the IP address of the other WAN port.

 

• If both WAN connections go down, the ZyWALL uses the dial backup IP

 

address for the VPN tunnel when using dial backup or the LAN IP address

 

when using traffic redirect. See the chapter on WAN for details on dial backup

 

and traffic redirect.

 

A ZyWALL with a single WAN port uses its current WAN IP address (static or

 

dynamic) in setting up the VPN tunnel if you leave this field as 0.0.0.0. If the WAN

 

connection goes down, the ZyWALL uses the dial backup IP address for the VPN

 

tunnel when using dial backup or the LAN IP address when using traffic redirect.

 

Otherwise, you can select My Domain Name and choose one of the dynamic

 

domain names that you have configured (in the DDNS screen) to have the

 

ZyWALL use that dynamic domain name's IP address.

 

When the ZyWALL is in bridge mode, this field is read-only and displays the

 

ZyWALL’s IP address.

 

The VPN tunnel has to be rebuilt if the My ZyWALL IP address changes after

 

setup.
