the local Content field or use the DNS or E-mail ID type in the
following situations:

distinguish between VPN connection requests that come in
from IPSec routers with dynamic WAN IP addresses.

type a domain name or e-mail address by which to identify this
ZyXEL Device in the local Content field. Use up to 31 ASCII
characters including spaces, although trailing spaces are
