What Are Local and Remote Gateways (Interconnection IP Addresses)?

  • The local gateway provides an IP address used by the cloud to connect to your on-premises network. After you configure Local Gateway on the console, the IP address will be automatically delivered to the gateway used by the cloud.
  • The remote gateway provides an IP address used by the on-premises data center to connect to the cloud. After you configure Remote Gateway on the console, you need to configure the IP address on the interface of the on-premises device.

The local and remote gateways must be in the same IP address range. You need to plan this IP address range by yourself. This IP address range cannot conflict with that used by your on-premises network. Generally, a subnet with a 30-bit mask is recommended.
