Resetting a VPN Connection

Scenario

You can reset a VPN connection if an exception occurs when you use the VPN connection.

Notes and Constraints

  • You can reset a VPN connection only when its status is Not connected, Normal, or Unknown.
  • Whether VPN connections can be reset is subject to the actual GUI on the management console.

Resetting a VPN connection will interrupt the VPN connection. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select the desired region and project.
  3. Click in the upper left corner, and choose Networking > Virtual Private Network.
  4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Virtual Private Network > Enterprise – VPN Connections.
  5. Locate the target VPN connection, choose More > Reset, and click OK.
  6. Check the VPN connection status.

    On the VPN connection page, the VPN connection is in Resetting state.

    After being reset, a VPN connection may undergo the Not connected state before its state becomes Normal. If a VPN connection remains in the Not connected state, the negotiation fails. For details about how to rectify this fault, see The State of a VPN Connection Is Not connected.
