IPSec VPN
25.1  IPSec VPN Overview
A virtual private network (VPN) provides secure communications between sites 
without the expense of leased site-to-site lines. A secure VPN is a combination of 
tunneling, encryption, authentication, access control and auditing. It is used to 
transport traffic over the Internet or any insecure network that uses TCP/IP for 
communication.
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a standards-based VPN that offers flexible 
solutions for secure data communications across a public network like the 
Internet. IPSec is built around a number of standardized cryptographic techniques 
to provide confidentiality, data integrity and authentication at the IP layer. The 
following figure is an example of an IPSec VPN tunnel.
Figure 326   IPSec VPN Example
The VPN tunnel connects the ZyWALL (X) and the remote (peer) IPSec router (Y). 
These routers then connect the local network (A) and remote network (B).
25.1.1  What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use  the  VPN Connection screens (see 
) to specify 
which VPN gateway a VPN connection policy uses and which devices (behind the 
IPSec routers) can use the VPN tunnel and the IPSec SA settings (phase 2 
settings). You can also activate / deactivate and connect / disconnect each VPN 
connection (each IPSec SA).
