13.6.9.1 ID Type and Content Examples
Two IPSec routers must have matching ID type and content configuration in order to set up a VPN
tunnel.
The two P-79Xs in this example can complete negotiation and establish a VPN tunnel.
The two P-79Xs in this example cannot complete their negotiation because P-79X B’s Local ID
type is IP, but P-79X A’s Peer ID type is set to E-mail. An “ID mismatched” message displays in
the IPSEC LOG.
E-mail Type an e-mail address (up to 31 characters) by which to identify this P-79X.
The domain name or e-mail address that you use in the Content field is used for
identification purposes only and does not need to be a real domain name or e-
mail address.
Table 54 Peer ID Type and Content Fields
PEER ID TYPE= CONTENT=
IP Type the IP address of the computer with which you will make the VPN connection
or leave the field blank to have the P-79X automatically use the address in the
Secure Gateway Address field.
DNS Type a domain name (up to 31 characters) by which to identify the remote IPSec
router.
E-mail Type an e-mail address (up to 31 characters) by which to identify the remote
IPSec router.
The domain name or e-mail address that you use in the Content field is used for
identification purposes only and does not need to be a real domain name or e-
mail address. The domain name also does not have to match the remote router’s
IP address or what you configure in the Secure Gateway Address field below.
