20.3 The VPN Gateway Screen
The VPN Gateway summary screen displays the IPSec VPN gateway policies in the
ZyWALL, as well as the ZyWALL’s address, remote IPSec router’s address, and associated
VPN connections for each one. In addition, it also lets you activate and deactivate each VPN
gateway.
To access this screen, click VPN > Network > IPSec VPN > VPN Gateway. The following
screen appears.

Each field is discussed in the following table. See Section 20.3.1 on page 364 for more
information.
Authentication
Key
Enter the authentication key, which depends on the authentication algorithm.
MD5 - type a unique key 16-20 characters long
SHA1 - type a unique key 20 characters long
You can use any alphanumeric characters or ,;|`~!@#$%^&*()_+\{}':./<>=-". If you
want to enter the key in hexadecimal, type “0x” at the beginning of the key. For
example, "0x0123456789ABCDEF" is in hexadecimal format; in
“0123456789ABCDEF” is in ASCII format. If you use hexadecimal, you must enter
twice as many characters as listed above.
The remote IPSec router must have the same authentication key.
The ZyWALL ignores any characters above the minimum number of characters
required by the algorithm. For example, if you enter
12345678901234567890
for a MD5 authentication key, the ZyWALL only uses
1234567890123456.
The ZyWALL still stores the longer key.
