20.6.1 Regular Expressions in Searching IPSec SAs by Name or Policy

A question mark (?) lets a single character in the VPN connection or policy name vary. For
example, use "a?c" (without the quotation marks) to specify abc, acc and so on.
Wildcards (*) let multiple VPN connection or policy names match the pattern. For example,
use "*abc" (without the quotation marks) to specify any VPN connection or policy name that
ends with "abc". A VPN connection named "testabc" would match. There could be any
number (of any type) of characters in front of the "abc" at the end and the VPN connection or
policy name would still match. A VPN connection or policy name named "testacc" for
example would not match.
A * in the middle of a VPN connection or policy name has the ZyWALL check the beginning
and end and ignore the middle. For example, with "abc*123", any VPN connection or policy
name starting with "abc" and ending in "123" matches, no matter how many characters are in
between.
The whole VPN connection or policy name has to match if you do not use a question mark or
asterisk.
