Select WAN interface on which IPSec tunnel is to be established.
Select an IPSec tunneling scenario from the dropdown box for your application.
Select Site‐to‐Site, Site‐to‐Host, Host‐to‐Site, Host‐to‐Host, or Dynamic VPN.
With Site‐to‐Site or Site‐to‐Host or Host‐to‐Site, IPSec operates in tunnel mode. The
difference among them is the number of subnets. With Host‐to‐Host, IPSec

balance function of the gateway. You will not need to select with WAN interface as
the system will automatically utilize the available WAN interfaces to balance traffic
loads. For more details on WAN Load Balance, refer to Load Balance Usage in this
