13.3 My IP Address
My IP Address is the WAN IP address of the ZyXEL Device. The ZyXEL Device has to
rebuild the VPN tunnel if the My IP Address changes after setup.
The following applies if this field is configured as 0.0.0.0 :
• The ZyXEL Device uses the current ZyXEL Device WAN IP address (static or dynamic)
to set up the VPN tunnel.
• If the WAN connection goes down, the ZyXEL Device uses the dial backup IP address
for the VPN tunnel when using dial backup or the LAN IP address when using traffic
redirect. See the chapter on WAN for details on dial backup and traffic redirect.

ENCRYPTION
DES (default)
Data Encryption Standard (DES) is a widely
used method of data encryption using a
private (secret) key. DES applies a 56-bit key
to each 64-bit block of data.
MD5 (default)
MD5 (Message Digest 5) produces a 128-bit
digest to authenticate packet data.
3DES
Triple DES (3DES) is a variant of DES, which
iterates three times with three separate keys
(3 x 56 = 168 bits), effectively doubling the
strength of DES.
SHA1
SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) produces a
160-bit digest to authenticate packet data.
AES
Advanced Encryption Standard is a newer
method of data encryption that also uses a
secret key. This implementation of AES
applies a 128-bit key to 128-bit blocks of data.
AES is faster than 3DES.
Select NULL to set up a phase 2 tunnel
without encryption.
AUTHENTICATION
MD5 (default)
MD5 (Message Digest 5) produces a 128-bit
digest to authenticate packet data.
MD5 (default)
MD5 (Message Digest 5) produces a 128-bit

SHA1
SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) produces a
160-bit digest to authenticate packet data.
SHA1
SHA1 (Secure Hash Algorithm) produces a
160-bit digest to authenticate packet data.
Select MD5 for minimal security and SHA1 for maximum security.
