Scenario

Figure 1 shows the typical networking where a VPN gateway on Huawei Cloud connects to a VPN gateway on Alibaba Cloud in static routing mode.

Figure 1 Typical networking diagram

In this scenario, the Alibaba Cloud VPN gateway has only one IP address, and the Huawei Cloud VPN gateway uses the active-active mode. A VPN connection needs to be created between each of the two active EIPs of the Huawei Cloud VPN gateway and the IP address of the Alibaba Cloud VPN gateway.
