22.6 IPSec VPN Background Information

Here is some more detailed IPSec VPN background information.
IKE SA Overview
The IKE SA provides a secure connection between the ZyWALL/USG and remote IPSec router.
It takes several steps to establish an IKE SA. The negotiation mode determines how many. There
are two negotiation modes--main mode and aggressive mode. Main mode provides better security,
while aggressive mode is faster.
Note: Both routers must use the same negotiation mode.
These modes are discussed in more detail in
various examples in the rest of this section.

DESCRIPTION
Click Add to bind a configured VPN rule to a user or group. Only that user or group may
then retrieve the specified VPN rule settings.
If you click Add without selecting an entry in advance then the new entry appears as the
first entry. Entry order is important as the ZyWALL/USG searches entries in the order listed
here to find a match. After a match is found, the ZyWALL/USG stops searching. If you want
to add an entry as number three for example, then first select entry 2 and click Add. To
reorder an entry, use Move.
Select an existing entry and click Edit to change its settings.
To remove an entry, select it and click Remove. The ZyWALL/USG confirms you want to
remove it before doing so.
To turn on an entry, select it and click Activate. Make sure that Enable Configuration
Provisioning is also selected.
To turn off an entry, select it and click Inactivate.
Use Move to reorder a selected entry. Select an entry, click Move, type the number where
the entry should be moved, press <ENTER>, then click Apply.
This icon shows if the entry is active (yellow) or not (gray). VPN rule settings can only be
retrieved when the entry is activated (and Enable Configuration Provisioning is also
