4.8.7 VPN Advanced Wizard - Phase 2

Active Protocol: ESP is compatible with NAT, AH is not.
Encapsulation: Tunnel is compatible with NAT, Transport is not.
Proposal: 3DES and AES use encryption. The longer the AES key, the higher the security
(this may affect throughput). Null uses no encryption.
Local Policy (IP/Mask): Type the IP address of a computer on your network. You can also
specify a subnet. This must match the remote IP address configured on the peer IPSec device.

DESCRIPTION
know the same secret key, which can be used to encrypt and decrypt the
message or to generate and verify a message authentication code. The DES
encryption algorithm uses a 56-bit key. Triple DES (3DES) is a variation on DES
that uses a 168-bit key. As a result, 3DES is more secure than DES. It also
requires more processing power, resulting in increased latency and decreased
throughput. AES128 uses a 128-bit key and is faster than 3DES. AES192 uses
a 192-bit key and AES256 uses a 256-bit key. Select Null to have no
encryption.
Define the length of time before an IKE SA automatically renegotiates in this
field. The minimum value is 60 seconds.
A short SA Life Time increases security by forcing the two VPN gateways to
update the encryption and authentication keys. However, every time the VPN
tunnel renegotiates, all users accessing remote resources are temporarily
disconnected.
Perfect Forward Secret (PFS) is disabled (None) by default in phase 2 IPSec
SA setup. This allows faster IPSec setup, but is not so secure.
Select DH1, DH2 or DH5 to enable PFS. DH1 refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 1 a
768 bit random number. DH2 refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 2 a 1024 bit (1Kb)
random number. DH5 refers to Diffie-Hellman Group 5 a 1536 bit random
number (more secure, yet slower).
Type a static local IP address that corresponds to the remote IPSec router's
configured remote IP address.
To specify IP addresses on a network by their subnet mask, type the subnet
mask of the LAN behind your ZyWALL.
Select an interface from the drop-down list box to have packets encrypted by the
remote IPSec router to enter the ZyWALL via this interface.
Type a static local IP address that corresponds to the remote IPSec router's
configured local IP address.
To specify IP addresses on a network by their subnet mask, type the subnet
mask of the LAN behind the remote gateway.
Select this if you want the ZyWALL to automatically renegotiate the IPSec SA
when the SA life time expires.
