Prestige to N ETSCREEN Tunneling

1. Setup Prestige
2. Setup NETSCREEN

Note: Not all ZyXEL Prestige provide VPN functionality. Please check the User's Manual from the packaged CD-ROM.

This page guides us to setup a VPN connection between Prestige and NETSCREEN. As the figure shown below, the tunnel between PC 1 and PC 2 ensures the packets flow between them are secure. To setup this VPN tunnel, the required settings for Prestige and NETSCREEN are explained in the following sections.

The IP addresses we use in this example are as shown below.

PC 1 | Prestige | NETSCREEN | PC 2
192.168.1.33 | LAN: 192.168.1.1 WAN: 202.132.154.1 | LAN: 192.168.78.1 WAN: 168.10.10.66 | 192.168.78.5

Note: The following configurations are supposed both two VPN gateways have fixed IP addresses. If one of VPN gateways uses dynamic IP, we enter 0.0.0.0 as the secure gateway IP address. In this case, the VPN connection can only be initiated from dynamic side to fixed side to update its dynamic IP to the fixed side. From this connection, the source IP is obtained and then update to the previous 0.0.0.0 field. However, if both gateways use dynamic IP addresses, it is no way to establish VPN connection at all.

1. Setup Prestige

1. Login Prestige by giving the LAN IP address of Prestige in URL field. Default LAN IP is 192.168.1.1, default password to login web configurator is 1234.
2. Click Advanced, and click VPN tab on the left.
3. On the SUMMARY menu, Select a policy to edit by clicking Edit.
4. On the CONFIGURE-IKE menu, check Active check box and give a name to this policy.
5. Select IPSec Keying Mode to IKE and Negotiation Mode to Main, as we configured in NETSCREEN.
6. Source IP Address Start and Source IP Address End are PC 1 IP in this example. If a range of IP is used, please enter the start IP and the end IP. For example, 192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.35.
7. Destination IP Address Start and Destination IP Address End are PC 2 IP in this example. (the secure remote host)
8. My IP Addr is the WAN IP of Prestige.
9. Secure Gateway IP Addr is the remote secure gateway IP, that is NETSCREEN WAN IP in this example.
10. Select Encapsulation Mode to Tunnel.
11. Check the ESP check box. (AH can not be used in SUA/NAT case)
12. Select Encryption Algorithm to DES and Authentication Algorithm to MD5, as we configured in NETSCREEN.
13. Enter the key string 12345678 in the Preshared Key text box, and click Apply.

See the screen shot:

If you use SMT management, the VPN configurations are as shown below.

1. Edit IKE settings by selecting Edit IKE Setup option in menu27.1.1 to Yes and then pressing 'Enter'.
2. There are two phases for IKE:

In Phase 1, two IKE peers establish a secure channel for key exchanging.
In Phase 2, two peers negotiate general purpose SAs which are secure channels for data transmission.

2. Setup NETSCREEN For VPN

1. Configure NETSCREEN by using its web configurator.
2. Login NETSCREEN by giving the LAN IP address of NETSCREEN in URL field
