4.1 IPSec VPN
Besides using the VPN quick setup wizard to configure settings for an IPSec VPN tunnel, you can
use the Configuration > VPN > IPSec VPN screens to configure and activate or deactivate VPN
gateway and IPSec VPN connection policies. You can also connect or disconnect IPSec VPN
connections.
• Use the VPN Gateway screens to manage the ZyWALL's VPN gateways. A VPN gateway specifies
the IPSec routers at either end of a VPN tunnel and the IKE SA settings (phase 1 settings). You
can also activate or deactivate each VPN gateway.
• Use the VPN Connection screens to specify which IPSec VPN gateway an IPSec VPN connection
policy uses, which devices behind the IPSec routers can use the VPN tunnel, and the IPSec SA
settings (phase 2 settings). You can also activate or deactivate and connect or disconnect each
VPN connection (each IPSec SA).
4.1.1 Test the VPN Connection
After you configure the VPN gateway and VPN connection settings, set up the VPN settings on the
peer IPSec router and try to establish the VPN tunnel. To trigger the VPN, either try to connect to a
device on the peer IPSec router's LAN or click Configuration > VPN > IPSec VPN > VPN
Connection and use the VPN connection screen's Connect icon.
4.1.2 Configure Security Policies for the VPN Tunnel
You configure security policies based on zones. The new VPN connection was assigned to the
IPSec_VPN zone. By default, there are no security restrictions on the IPSec_VPN zone, so, next,
you should set up security policies that apply to the IPSec_VPN zone.
