Table 16-7 VPN IKE
Enter the WAN IP address of your Prestige. The VPN tunnel has to be rebuilt if this
IP address changes.
The following applies if this field is configured as 0.0.0.0:
The Prestige uses the current Prestige WAN IP address (static or dynamic) to
set up the VPN tunnel.
If the WAN connection goes down, the Prestige uses the dial backup IP
address for the VPN tunnel when using dial backup or the LAN IP address
when using traffic redirect. See the chapter on WAN for details on dial backup
and traffic redirect.
Select IP to identify the remote IPSec router by its IP address.
Select DNS to identify the remote IPSec router by a domain name.
Select E-mail to identify the remote IPSec router by an e-mail address.
The configuration of the peer content depends on the peer ID type.
For IP, type the IP address of the computer with which you will make the
VPN connection. If you configure this field to 0.0.0.0 or leave it blank, the
Prestige will use the address in the Secure Gateway Address field (refer
to the Secure Gateway Address field description).
For DNS or E-mail, type a domain name or e-mail address by which to
identify the remote IPSec router. Use up to 31 ASCII characters including
spaces, although trailing spaces are truncated. The domain name or e-
mail address is for identification purposes only and can be any string.
It is recommended that you type an IP address other than 0.0.0.0 or use the DNS
or E-mail ID type in the following situations:
When there is a NAT router between the two IPSec routers.
When you want the Prestige to distinguish between VPN connection requests that
come in from remote IPSec routers with dynamic WAN IP addresses.
