Configuring a site-to-site (S2S) VPN in Azure involves several steps. Here are the general steps to configure S2S Azure VPN:
- Create a virtual network gateway: The first step is to create a virtual network gateway in Azure. This gateway acts as the endpoint for the VPN connection. You need to provide a name, select the gateway type as “VPN”, and specify the VPN type as “Route-based”. You also need to specify the public IP address for the gateway.
- Create a local network gateway: The next step is to create a local network gateway. This represents the customer’s on-premises VPN device. You need to provide a name, specify the IP address range of the on-premises network, and specify the public IP address of the on-premises VPN device.
- Configure the connection: Once the virtual network gateway and local network gateway are created, you need to configure the VPN connection between them. You need to specify the shared key and select the IPsec/IKE policy for the connection. You also need to specify the on-premises local network gateway as the peer address.
- Create and configure the VPN device: The next step is to create and configure the on-premises VPN device. You need to ensure that the device is compatible with Azure VPN, configure the device with the appropriate settings, and ensure that the public IP address of the device is configured correctly.
- Test the connection: Once the VPN connection is established, you need to test the connection to ensure that it is working correctly. You can test connectivity by pinging resources in Azure from the on-premises network and vice versa.
These are the general steps to configure S2S Azure VPN. However, the exact steps may vary depending on the specific VPN device and configuration. It is recommended to follow the Azure documentation and vendor-specific guidance for configuring the VPN connection.
