FIELD DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
Name
This field displays the unique identification name for this VPN rule. The 
name may be up to 32 characters long but only 10 characters will be 
displayed here. 
Taiwan
A
Y signifies that this VPN rule is active.
Y
Local Addr 
Start 
When the Addr Type field in Menu 27.1.1 IPSec Setup is configured to 
Single, this is a static IP address on the LAN behind your ZyWALL. 
When the Addr Type field in Menu 27.1.1 IPSec Setup is configured to 
Range, this is the beginning (static) IP address, in a range of computers 
on the LAN behind your ZyWALL. 
When the Addr Type field in Menu 27.1.1 IPSec Setup is configured to 
SUBNET, this is a static IP address on the LAN behind your ZyWALL. 
192.168.1.35
Addr End / 
Mask 
When the Addr Type field in Menu 27.1.1 IPSec Setup is configured to 
Single, this is the same (static) IP address as in the Local Addr Start 
field. 
When the Addr Type field in Menu 27.1.1 IPSec Setup is configured to 
Range, this is the end (static) IP address, in a range of computers on the 
LAN behind your ZyWALL. 
When the Addr Type field in Menu 27.1.1 IPSec Setup is configured to 
SUBNET, this is a subnet mask on the LAN behind your ZyWALL.

discussion of these. You need to finish configuring the VPN policy in menu 
27.1.1.1 or 27.1.1.2 if ??? is displayed.

IPSec 
Algorithm 
This field displays the security protocols used for an SA. ESP provides 
confidentiality and integrity of data by encrypting the data and 
encapsulating it into IP packets. Encryption methods include 56-bit DES, 
168-bit 3DES and 128-bit AES. NULL denotes a tunnel without 
encryption. 
AH (Authentication Header) provides strong integrity and authentication 
by adding authentication information to IP packets. This authentication 
information is calculated using header and payload data in the IP packet. 
This provides an additional level of security. AH choices are MD5 (default 
- 128 bits) and SHA -1(160 bits). 
Both AH and ESP increase the ZyWALL’s processing requirements and 
communications latency (delay). 
You need to finish configuring the VPN policy in menu 27.1.1.1 or 27.1.1.2 
if ??? is displayed.
