DESCRIPTION
Type the WAN IP address or the URL (up to 31 characters) of the IPSec
router with which you're making the VPN connection. Set this field to
0.0.0.0 if the remote IPSec router has a dynamic WAN IP address (the
IPSec Key Mode field must be set to IKE).
In order to have more than one active rule with the Secure Gateway
Address field set to 0.0.0.0, the ranges of the local IP addresses
cannot overlap between rules.
If you configure an active rule with 0.0.0.0 in the Secure Gateway
Address field and the LAN's full IP address range as the local IP
address, then you cannot configure any other active rules with the
Secure Gateway Address field set to 0.0.0.0.
Select ESP if you want to use ESP (Encapsulation Security Payload).
The ESP protocol (RFC 2406) provides encryption as well as some of
the services offered by AH. If you select ESP here, you must select
options from the Encryption Algorithm and Authentication
Algorithm fields (described below).
Click the button to use a pre-shared key for authentication, and type in
your pre-shared key. A pre-shared key identifies a communicating
party during a phase 1 IKE negotiation. It is called "pre-shared"
because you have to share it with another party before you can
communicate with them over a secure connection.
Type from 8 to 31 case-sensitive ASCII characters or from 16 to 62
hexadecimal ("0-9", "A-F") characters. You must precede a
hexadecimal key with a "0x" (zero x), which is not counted as part of
the 16 to 62 character range for the key. For example, in
"0x0123456789ABCDEF", "0x" denotes that the key is hexadecimal
and "0123456789ABCDEF" is the key itself.
Both ends of the VPN tunnel must use the same pre-shared key. You
will receive a "PYLD_MALFORMED" (payload malformed) packet if the
same pre-shared key is not used on both ends.
Click the button to use a certificate for authentication. Select the
certificate you want to use from the list. You can create, import and
configure certificates in the Security > Certificates screens, or click
the My Certificates link.
Click this to go to the Security > Certificates > My Certificates
screen. If you do not click Apply first, your VPN settings will not be
saved.
