Configuration on the Cloud Console

Prerequisites

  • A VPC and its subnets have been created on the management console.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console, and choose Networking > Virtual Private Network.
  2. Create a VPN gateway.

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

      Table 1 only describes the key parameters for creating a VPN gateway.

      Table 1 VPN gateway parameters

      Parameter

      Description

      Value

      Name

      Name of a VPN gateway.

      vpngw-001

      Associate With

      Select VPC.

      VPC

      VPC

      VPC that the on-premises data center needs to access.

      vpc-001(192.168.0.0/16)

      Interconnection Subnet

      Subnet used for communication between the VPN gateway and VPC. Ensure that the selected interconnection subnet has four or more assignable IP addresses.

      192.168.2.0/24

      Local Subnet

      VPC subnets that the on-premises data center needs to access.

      192.168.0.0/24,192.168.1.0/24

      BGP ASN

      BGP AS number.

      64512

      HA Mode

      Working mode of the VPN gateway.

      Active-active

      Active EIP

      EIP 1 used by the VPN gateway to access the on-premises data center.

      1.1.1.2

      Active EIP 2

      EIP 2 used by the VPN gateway to access the on-premises data center.

      2.2.2.2

  3. Create a customer gateway, that is, an AR router.

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

      Table 2 only describes the key parameters for creating a customer gateway.

      Table 2 Customer gateway parameters

      Parameter

      Description

      Value

      Name

      Enter the name of a customer gateway.

      cgw-ar

      Identifier

      Select IP Address, and enter the public IP address of the AR router.

      IP Address

      1.1.1.1

  4. Create VPN connections.

    In this scenario, a VPN connection is created 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 Buy VPN Connection.
    2. Create VPN connection 1.

      Table 3 only describes the key parameters for creating a VPN connection.

      Table 3 Parameter settings for VPN connection 1

      Parameter

      Description

      Value

      Name

      Name of a VPN connection.

      vpn-001

      VPN Gateway

      VPN gateway for which the VPN connection is created.

      vpngw-001

      Gateway IP Address

      Active EIP bound to the VPN gateway.

      1.1.1.2

      Customer Gateway

      Name of a customer gateway.

      cgw-ar

      VPN Type

      Select Static routing.

      Static routing

      Customer Subnet

      Customer-side subnet that needs to access the VPC on the cloud through VPN connections.

      • 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.

      172.16.0.0/16

      Interface IP Address Assignment
      • Manually specify
      • Automatically assign

      Manually specify

      Local Tunnel Interface Address

      Tunnel IP address of the VPN gateway.

      169.254.70.2/30

      Customer Tunnel Interface Address

      Tunnel IP address of the AR router.

      169.254.70.1/30

      Link Detection

      Whether to enable route reachability detection in multi-link scenarios. When enabling this function, ensure that the customer gateway supports ICMP and is correctly configured with the customer interface IP address. After this function is enabled, the VPN gateway automatically performs Network Quality Analysis (NQA) on the tunnel interface IP address of the customer gateway.

      NQA enabled

      PSK, Confirm PSK

      The value must be the same as the PSK configured on the AR router.

      Set this parameter based on the site requirements.

      Policy Settings

      The policy settings must be the same as those on the AR router.
      • IKE Policy
        • Version: v2
        • Authentication Algorithm: SHA2-256
        • Encryption Algorithm: AES-128
        • DH Algorithm: Group 14
        • Lifetime (s): 86400
        • Local ID: IP Address
        • Customer ID: IP Address
      • IPsec Policy
        • Authentication Algorithm: SHA2-256
        • Encryption Algorithm: AES-128
        • PFS: DH group 14
        • Transfer Protocol: ESP
        • Lifetime (s): 3600
    3. Create VPN connection 2.

      For VPN connection 2, you are advised to use the same parameter settings as VPN connection 1, except the parameters listed in the following table.
