Peer IDs enable the routers to identify
each other when they exchange secret
key information. By default, the Peer
IDs are the router IP addresses. This
does not work when one (or both)
routers are behind a separate NAT
device, because the NAT device
changes the IP addresses.
Towards the bottom of the Advanced
Settings page, enter a local ID (to
identify this router) and a remote ID
(to identify the router at the other end
of the link). It does not matter what
text you use as the IDs, so long as each
ID is different.
Then click the OK button.
