Chapter 17 VPN Screens

Two IPSec routers must have matching ID type and content configuration in order to set up a 
VPN tunnel. 

The two ZyXEL Devices in this example can complete negotiation and establish a VPN 
tunnel.

The two ZyXEL Devices in this example cannot complete their negotiation because ZyXEL 
Device B’s Local ID type is IP, but ZyXEL Device A’s Peer ID type is set to E-mail. An “ID 
mismatched” message displays in the IPSEC LOG. 

A pre-shared key identifies a communicating party during a phase 1 IKE negotiation 
(see

for more on IKE phases). It is called “pre-shared” because you 

have to share it with another party before you can communicate with them over a secure 
connection.
