My IP Address Enter the WAN IP address of your Prestige. 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 Prestige uses the current Prestige WAN IP address (static or dynamic) to set

up the VPN tunnel.
If the WAN connection goes down, the Prestige uses the dial backup IP address

for the VPN tunnel when using dial backup or the LAN IP address when using

traffic redirect. See the chapter on WAN for details on dial backup and traffic

redirect.

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 Prestige 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 Prestige 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 Key Management 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).
