With main mode, the ID type and content are encrypted to provide identity protection. In this
case the ZyXEL device can only distinguish between up to 12 different incoming SAs that
connect from remote IPSec routers that have dynamic WAN IP addresses. The ZyXEL device
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. 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.
