Prestige 652H/HW Series User's Guide
Regardless of the ID type and content configuration, the Prestige does not allow
you to save multiple active rules with overlapping local and remote IP addresses.
With main mode (see section 16.11.1), the ID type and content are encrypted to provide identity protection.
In this case the Prestige can only distinguish between up to 12 different incoming SAs that connect from
remote IPSec routers that have dynamic WAN IP addresses. The Prestige can distinguish up to 12 incoming
SAs because you can select between three encryption algorithms (DES, 3DES and AES), two authentication
algorithms (MD5 and SHA1) and two key groups (DH1 and DH2) when you configure a VPN rule (see
section 16.12). The ID type and content act as an extra level of identification for incoming SAs.
The type of ID can be a domain name, an IP address or an e-mail address. The content is the IP address,
domain name, or e-mail address.
LOCAL ID TYPE=
IP
DNS
E-mail
The domain name or e-mail address that you use in the Content field is used for identification purposes
only and does not need to be a real domain name or e-mail address.
PEER ID TYPE=
IP
DNS
E-mail
The domain name or e-mail address that you use in the Content field is used for identification purposes
only and does not need to be a real domain name or e-mail address. The domain name also does not have
to match the remote router's IP address or what you configure in the Secure Gateway Addr field below.
