What Are the Impacts of a VPN on an On-premises Network? What Are the Changes to the Route for Accessing an ECS?

When configuring a VPN, you need to perform the following operations on the gateway in your on-premises data center:

  • Configure IKE and IPsec policies.
  • Set the connection mode to route-based or policy-based.
  • Check the route configuration on the gateway to ensure that traffic destined for a Huawei Cloud VPC can be routed to the correct outbound interface (interface having an IPsec policy bound).
