25.1.3 Before You Begin

policy and remote policy. You should set up the address objects first.
• In a VPN gateway, you can select an Ethernet interface, virtual Ethernet
interface, VLAN interface, or virtual VLAN interface to specify what address the
ZyWALL uses as its IP address when it establishes the IKE SA. You should set up
the interface first. See Chapter 13 on page 277.
• In a VPN gateway, you can enable extended authentication. If the ZyWALL is in

The authentication method specifies how the ZyWALL authenticates the remote

authenticate each other. Make sure the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router
