Chapter 29 IPSec VPN
ZyWALL/USG Series User’s Guide

First DNS Server
(optional)
The Domain Name System (DNS) maps a domain name to an IP address and vice
versa. The ZyWALL/USG uses these (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain
names for VPN. Enter a DNS server's IP address.
Second DNS
Server (Optional)
Enter a secondary DNS server's IP address that is checked if the first one is
unavailable.
First WINS Server
(Optional)
Type the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server that you
want to send to the DHCP clients. The WINS server keeps a mapping table of the
computer names on your network and the IP addresses that they are currently using.
Second WINS
Server (Optional)
Enter a secondary WINS server's IP address that is checked if the first one is
unavailable.
Phase 2 Settings
SA Life Time Type the maximum number of seconds the IPSec SA can last. Shorter life times
provide better security. The ZyWALL/USG automatically negotiates a new IPSec SA
before the current one expires, if there are users who are accessing remote
resources.
Active Protocol Select which protocol you want to use in the IPSec SA. Choices are:
AH (RFC 2402) - provides integrity, authentication, sequence integrity (replay
resistance), and non-repudiation but not encryption. If you select AH, you must
select an Authentication algorithm.
ESP (RFC 2406) - provides encryption and the same services offered by AH, but its
authentication is weaker. If you select ESP, you must select an Encryption algorithm
and Authentication algorithm.
Both AH and ESP increase processing requirements and latency (delay).
The ZyWALL/USG and remote IPSec router must use the same active protocol.
Encapsulation Select which type of encapsulation the IPSec SA uses. Choices are
Tunnel - this mode encrypts the IP header information and the data.
Transport - this mode only encrypts the data.
The ZyWALL/USG and remote IPSec router must use the same encapsulation.
Proposal Use this section to manage the encryption algorithm and authentication algorithm
pairs the ZyWALL/USG accepts from the remote IPSec router for negotiating the
IPSec SA.
