ZyWALL USG 300 User’s Guide

• Use transport mode.

• Not be a manual key VPN connection. 

• Use Pre-Shared Key authentication.

• Use a VPN gateway with the Secure Gateway set to 0.0.0.0 if you need to allow L2TP 

VPN clients to connect from more than one IP address.

Default_L2TP_VPN_Connection is pre-configured to be convenient to use for L2TP VPN. 
If you use it, edit the following.

Configure the local and remote policies as follows.

• For  the  Local Policy, create an address object that uses host type and contains the My 

Address IP address that you configured in the Default_L2TP_VPN_GW. Use this 
address object in the local policy.

• For  the  Remote Policy, create an address object that uses host type and an IP address of 

0.0.0.0. Use this address object in the remote policy.

You must also edit the Default_L2TP_VPN_GW gateway entry.

• Configure the My Address setting according to your requirements.

• Replace the default Pre-Shared Key.

You must configure a policy route to let remote users access resources on a network behind 
the ZyWALL. 

• Set the policy route’s Source Address to the address object that you want to allow the 

remote users to access (LAN_SUBNET in the following figure). 

• Set the Destination Address to the IP address pool that the ZyWALL assigns to the 

remote users (L2TP_POOL in the following figure).

• Set the next hop to be the VPN tunnel that you are using for L2TP.
