Vantage CNM User's Guide
A NAT device in between the IPSec endpoints will rewrite either the source or destination
address with one of its own choosing. The VPN device at the receiving end will verify the
integrity of the incoming packet by computing its own hash value, and complain that the hash
value appended to the received packet doesn't match. The VPN device at the receiving end
doesn't know about the NAT in the middle, so it assumes that the data has been maliciously
altered.
IPSec using ESP in Tunnel mode encapsulates the entire original packet (including headers)
in a new IP packet. The new IP packet's source address is the outbound address of the sending
VPN gateway, and its destination address is the inbound address of the VPN device at the
receiving end. When using ESP protocol with authentication, the packet contents (in this case,
the entire original packet) are encrypted. The encrypted contents, but not the new headers, are
signed with a hash value appended to the packet.
Tunnel mode ESP with authentication is compatible with NAT because integrity checks are
performed over the combination of the "original header plus original payload," which is
unchanged by a NAT device. Transport mode ESP with authentication is not compatible with
NAT, although NAT traversal provides a way to use Transport mode ESP when there is a
NAT router between the IPSec endpoints.

11.6 My ZyWALL

My ZyWALL identifies the WAN IP address or domain name of the ZyWALL (if it has one)
or leave the field set to 0.0.0.0. The ZyWALL has to rebuild the VPN tunnel if the My
ZyWALL IP address changes after setup.

11.7 Remote Gateway Address

Remote Gateway Address is the WAN IP address or domain name of the remote IPSec router
(secure gateway).
If the remote secure gateway has a static WAN IP address, enter it in the Remote Gateway
Address field. You may alternatively enter the remote secure gateway's domain name (if it
has one).
