To implement an Azure Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN connection, you need to perform the following steps:
- Prepare your network: You need to ensure that your on-premises network is configured properly for the VPN connection. This includes having a compatible VPN device and ensuring that the network does not have overlapping IP addresses with the Azure virtual network.
- Create a Virtual Network Gateway: You need to create a Virtual Network Gateway in Azure. This gateway is responsible for establishing the VPN connection between your on-premises network and your Azure virtual network.
- Configure a Local Network Gateway: You need to configure a Local Network Gateway in Azure to represent your on-premises network. This includes specifying the IP address of your VPN device and the on-premises address space.
- Configure a VPN Connection: You need to configure a VPN connection between the Virtual Network Gateway and the Local Network Gateway. This includes configuring the authentication method, specifying the pre-shared key, and configuring the IPsec/IKE parameters.
- Configure your on-premises VPN device: You need to configure your on-premises VPN device to establish the VPN connection with the Virtual Network Gateway. This includes configuring the IPsec/IKE parameters and specifying the Azure virtual network address space.
- Verify the VPN Connection: After configuring the VPN connection, you should verify that the connection is established and working properly. You can use network monitoring tools to verify that traffic is being routed between the on-premises network and the Azure virtual network through the VPN connection.
To implement an Azure Site-to-Site (S2S) VPN connection, you need to prepare your network, create a Virtual Network Gateway, configure a Local Network Gateway, configure a VPN connection, configure your on-premises VPN device, and verify the VPN connection.
