Table 16-4 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 Prestige 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.
16.8.1 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 Prestiges in this example can complete negotiation and establish a VPN tunnel.
Table 16-5 Matching ID Type and Content Configuration Example
PRESTIGE A PRESTIGE B
Local ID type: E-mail Local ID type: IP
Local ID content: [email protected] Local ID content: 1.1.1.2
Peer ID type: IP Peer ID type: E-mail
Peer ID content: 1.1.1.2 Peer ID content: [email protected]
The two Prestiges in this example cannot complete their negotiation because Prestige B’s Local ID type is
IP, but Prestige A’s Peer ID type is set to E-mail. An “ID mismatched” message displays in the IPSEC
LOG.
Table 16-6 Mismatching ID Type and Content Configuration Example
PRESTIGE A PRESTIGE B
Local ID type: IP Local ID type: IP
Local ID content: 1.1.1.10 Local ID content: 1.1.1.10
