ZyWALL 5/35/70 Series User’s Guide
Chapter 19 VPN Screens 320
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
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 310 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.
