Overview

Scenario

When an on-premises data center needs to access ECSs in a VPC, non-fixed IP addresses on the customer network can be used for the access.

Networking

In this example, two VPN connections are set up between an on-premises data center and a VPC to ensure network reliability. If one VPN connection fails, traffic is automatically switched to the other VPN connection, ensuring service continuity.

Solution Advantages

Non-fixed public IP addresses in the on-premises data center can be used for cloud access, making the networking flexible and reducing the bandwidth cost.

Notes and Constraints

  • The on-premises data center supports VPN connections only in policy-based mode.
  • The negotiation must be initiated by the on-premises data center.
  • In non-fixed IP address access mode, only IKEv2 is supported. IKEv1 is not supported.
