Validation Criteria
Button
Depending on the Authentication Method:
Shared Secret—Specify the text-based secret that is used to authenticate the
IPsec tunnel (case sensitive). This applies to all VPN tunnels (IPsec and
L2TP/IPsec).
X.509 Certificate—Specify the remote X.509 certificate validation criteria that
must match for successful authentication (case sensitive). Note that all
validation criteria must be configured to match the X.509 certificate. An
asterisk (*) is valid as a wildcard.
See Shared Secret Field Description for more information.
See Remote Validation Criteria Field Descriptions or more information on the
X.509 certificate validation criteria.

Right and the other as Left. You are configuring the IOLAN-side of the VPN
tunnel.
Data Options: Left, Right
Default: Left
Local IP Address The IP address of the IOLAN. You can specify %defaultroute when the IP
address of the IOLAN is not always known (for example, when it gets its IP
address from DHCP). When
%defaultroute is used, a default gateway must
be configured in the route table (
Network, Advanced, Route List tab).
Field Format: IPv4 address, IPv6 address, FQDN,
%defaultroute
Local External IP

address.
Field Format: IPv4 address, IPv6 address, FQDN
Local Next Hop The IP address of the router/gateway that will forward data packets to the
remote VPN (if required). The router/gateway must reside on the same subnet
