P-2608HWL Series Support Notes

When should I use FQDN?

If your VPN connection is Prestige-to-Prestige, and both of them have static IP addresses without a NAT
router in between, use IP as the Local/Peer ID type.
If either side of VPN tunneling end points uses a dynamic IP address, you may need to configure ID for
the VPN gateway with the dynamic IP address. In this case, use "Aggressive mode" for phase 1
negotiation .

Is my Prestige ready for IPSec VPN?

IPSec VPN is available on a Prestige using ZyNOS V3.50 firmware. It is a free upgrade and no
registration is required.
By upgrading the firmware and the configuration (romfile) to ZyNOS V3.50, your Prestige is IPSec VPN
capable. You can then configure VPN via the web configurator.
Download the firmware from our web site.
NOTE: To update firmware from ZyNOS V3.2x to V3.5x, use the console port or TFTP to perform the
firmware upgrade. This is due to the difference in the memory allocation between these two versions.
