  4. Configure a customer gateway.

    1. Choose Virtual Private Network > Enterprise – Customer Gateways, and click Create Customer Gateway.
    2. Set parameters as prompted.

      Table 2 describes the parameters for creating a customer gateway.

      Table 2 Parameters for creating a customer gateway

      Parameter

      Description

      Value

  5. Configure VPN connections.

    In this scenario, create a VPN connection between the AR router and each of the active EIP and active EIP 2 of the VPN gateway.
    1. Choose Virtual Private Network > Enterprise – VPN Connections, and click Create VPN Connection.
    1. Create VPN connections.

      Table 3 only describes the key parameters for creating VPN connections.

      Subnet in the on-premises data center that needs to access the VPC on Huawei Cloud.

      • A customer subnet cannot be included in any local subnet or any subnet of the VPC to which the VPN gateway is attached.
      • Reserved VPC CIDR blocks such as 100.64.0.0/10 and 214.0.0.0/8 cannot be used as customer subnets.

      Connection 1's Configuration

      Configure the IP address assignment mode of tunnel interfaces, local tunnel interface address, customer tunnel interface address, PSK, confirm PSK, and policies for connection 1.

      Set parameters based on the site requirements.

      Interface IP Address Assignment
      • Manually specify

        In this example, Manually specify is selected.
