Please note that, in Prestige, if "DNS" or "E-mail" type is choosen, you can still use a random string as 
the content, such as "this_is_Prestige". It's not neccessary to follow the format exactly.  
 
By default, Prestige takes IP as phase 1 ID type for itself and it's remote peer. But if it's remote peer is 
using DNS or E-mail, you have to ajust the settings to pass phase 1 ID checking.   
When should I use FQDN?   
If your VPN connection is Prestige to Prestige, and both of them have static IP address, and there is no 
NAT router in between, you can ignore this option. Just leave Local/Peer ID type as IP, then skip this 
option.   
If either side of VPN tunneling end point is using dynamic IP address, you may need to configure ID for 
the one with dynamic IP address. And in this case, "Aggressive mode" is recommended to be applied in 
phase 1 negotiation .   
 
Is my Prestige ready for IPSec VPN?    
IPSec VPN is available for Prestige since ZyNOS V3.50. It is free upgrade, no registration is needed. 
 
By upgrading the firmware and also configurations (romfile) to ZyNOS V3.50, the IPSec VPN capability 
is ready in your Prestige. You then can configure VPN via web configurator. Please download the 
firmware from our web site. 
NOTE: For updating from ZyNOS V3.2x to V3.5x, please use console or TFTP update. This is because 
the memory allocation difference between these two versions.   
How do I configure Prestige VPN? 
You can configure Prestige for VPN using SMT or Web configurator. Prestige 1 supports Web only. 
How many VPN connections does Prestige support? 
Prestige 1 supports 1 VPN connection. Prestige 10 supports 10 VPN connections. Prestige 50 supports 50 
tunnels. Prestige 100 supports 100 tunnels.
