Table 93 Vpn Example: Matching Id Type And Content; Table 94 Vpn Example: Mismatching Id Type And Content - ZyXEL Communications ZyWall 5 Series User Manual

Router identity consists of ID type and ID content. The ID type can be IP address, domain
name, or e-mail address, and the ID content is a specific IP address, domain name, or e-mail
address. The ID content is only used for identification; the IP address, domain name, or e-mail
address that you enter does not have to actually exist.
The ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router each has its own identity, so each one must store
two sets of information, one for itself and one for the other router. Local ID type and ID
content refers to the ID type and ID content that applies to the router itself, and peer ID type
and ID content refers to the ID type and ID content that applies to the other router in the IKE
SA.
Note: The ZyWALL's local and peer ID type and ID content must match the remote
IPSec router's peer and local ID type and ID content, respectively.
In the following example, the ZyWALL and the remote IPSec router authenticate each other
successfully.

It is also possible to configure the ZyWALL to ignore the identity of the remote IPSec router.
In this case, you usually set the peer ID type to Any. This is not as secure as other peer ID
types, however.

It is also possible for the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router to authenticate each other with
certificates. In this case, the authentication process is different.
• Instead of using the pre-shared key, the ZyWALL and remote IPSec router check each
other's certificates.
