P-792H v2 User’s Guide
163
My IP Address Enter the WAN IP address of your P-792H v2. 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 P-792H v2 uses the current P-792H v2 WAN IP address (static or
dynamic) to set up the VPN tunnel.
Peer ID Type 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.
Content 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 P-792H v2 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 P-792H v2 to distinguish between VPN connection
requests that come in from remote IPSec routers with dynamic WAN IP
addresses.
Secure Gateway
Address
Type the WAN IP address or the URL (up to 31 characters) of the IPSec
router with which you're making the VPN connection. Set this field to
0.0.0.0 if the remote IPSec router has a dynamic WAN IP address (the
IPSec Key Mode field must be set to IKE).
In order to have more than one active rule with the Secure Gateway
Address field set to 0.0.0.0, the ranges of the local IP addresses
cannot overlap between rules.
If you configure an active rule with 0.0.0.0 in the Secure Gateway
Address field and the LAN’s full IP address range as the local IP
address, then you cannot configure any other active rules with the
Secure Gateway Address field set to 0.0.0.0.
Security Protocol
VPN Protocol Select ESP if you want to use ESP (Encapsulation Security Payload).
The ESP protocol (RFC 2406) provides encryption as well as some of
the services offered by AH. If you select ESP here, you must select
options from the Encryption Algorithm and Authentication
Algorithm fields (described below).
