Step

Description

Step 1: Create Cloud Resources

  1. Create an enterprise router.
  2. Create two service VPCs with a subnet in each VPC.
  3. Create an ECS in each service VPC.

Step 2: Attach the VPCs to the Enterprise Router

  1. Attach the two VPCs to the enterprise router.
  2. In the route table of each VPC, add a route with the enterprise router as the next hop and the on-premises network CIDR block as the destination.

Step 3: Attach the Global DC Gateway to the Enterprise Router

  1. Create a Direct Connect connection to connect the on-premises data center to the cloud over a line you lease from a carrier.
  2. Create a global DC gateway.
  3. Create a virtual interface to connect the global DC gateway to the connection.
  4. Attach the global DC gateway to the enterprise router and view the global DC gateway attachment in the attachment list of the enterprise router.
  5. Configure routes on the network device in the on-premises data center.

Step 4: Verify Network Connectivity

Log in to each ECS and use ping to verify connectivity.
