What if the other firewall has a dynamic ip address? What should you enter for IPSec Primary Gateway Name or Address?

I have a Sonicwall NSA220, and we need to setup a VPN connection to a remote entity. &nbsp;They sent me information like this:<br />
<br />
IP Sec Peer Gateway Addy: x.y.xx.yy<br />
Trusted Subnet: 10.67.31.0/26<br />
IKE Secret Phrase: HDkew93S (I made that up)<br />
<br />
IKE (Phase 1) Proposal<br />
&nbsp; Exchange: Main Mode<br />
&nbsp; DH Group: Group 2<br />
&nbsp; Encryption: 3DES<br />
&nbsp; Authenticaton: MD5<br />
&nbsp; Life Time (seconds) 28200<br />
<br />
IKE (Phase 2) Proposal<br />
&nbsp; Protocol: ESP<br />
&nbsp; Encryption: 3DES<br />
&nbsp; Authenticaton: MD5<br />
&nbsp; No Perfect FOrward Secrecy<br />
&nbsp; Life Time (seconds) 28200<br />
<br />
Where in the world would I even get started in my Sonicwall config to enter this stuff??<br />
<br />
Appreciate any insight at all!

Add a VPN Tunnel to Sonicwall

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Network security consists of the policies adopted to prevent and monitor authorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, and covers a variety of computer networks; conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
