IPSec Setup

Active

Select this check box to activate this VPN policy.

Name

Type up to 32 characters to identify this VPN policy. You may use any character, 

including spaces, but the ZyXEL Device drops trailing spaces.

IPSec Key Mode

Select IKE or Manual from the drop-down list box. Manual is a useful option for 

troubleshooting if you have problems using IKE key management. 

SPI

Type a number (base 10) from 1 to 999999 for the Security Parameter Index.

Encapsulation 

Mode

Select Tunnel mode or Transport mode from the drop-down list box. 

DNS Server (for 

IPSec VPN)

If there is a private DNS server that services the VPN, type its IP address here. 

The ZyXEL Device assigns this additional DNS server to the ZyXEL Device 's 

DHCP clients that have IP addresses in this IPSec rule's range of local 

addresses.
A DNS server allows clients on the VPN to find other computers and servers on 

the VPN by their (private) domain names.
