Step 1: Use Direct Connect or VPN to Communicate at Layer 3

Scenarios

An enterprise switch establishes a Layer 2 network based on a Layer 3 network between an on-premises data center and a VPC. This section describes how to create a Direct Connect or VPN connection between an on-premises data center and a VPC at Layer 3.

Prerequisites

Before using enterprise switches, plan resources on and off the cloud by referring to section "How Enterprise Switches Work" in the Enterprise Switch User Guide.

Procedure

1. Create a Direct Connect or VPN connection.

   For details, see the Direct Connect User Guide or Virtual Private Network User Guide.

   

   Enterprise Switch can work together with VPNs of the enterprise edition.

2. Submit a service ticket to check whether your Direct Connect or VPN connection supports VXLAN interconnection with an enterprise switch. If your connection does not support this, contact customer service.
