Configure Site-To-Site (IPsec) VPN Connection in Azure:

New-AzLocalNetworkGateway -Name myLocalGW -ResourceGroupName LAB-RG -Location “southeastasia ” -GatewayIpAddress 44.229.24.161 -AddressPrefix “172.31.0.0/16”ħ. Now I’m creating a Local Network Gateway in Azure, Local Network Gateway is basically a small configuration object which points to on-premises network, in this case we will specify the Elastic IP address of AWS EC2 instance and VPC CIDR address prefix when creating Local Network Gateway. This Elastic IP address will be used when creating “Local Network Gateway” in Azure subscription.Ħ.

You can consider this as On-Prem VPN device’s IP address. I’m allocating a Public IP address (knowns as Elastic IP address in AWS) in my AWS account, this Elastic IP address will be assigned to the EC2 instance later which will be acting as VPN Server in AWS environment. Allocate an Elastic IP Address in AWS account: New-AzVirtualNetworkGateway -Name MYVPNGW -ResourceGroupName LAB-RG -Location southeastasia -IpConfigurations $gwipconf -GatewayType Vpn -VpnType RouteBased -GatewaySku VpnGw1ĥ. Now in this step I’m creating a new Azure VPN Gateway using below cmdlet, please refer screenshot. $gwipconf = New-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayIpConfig -Name GwIPConf -Subnet $subnet -PublicIpAddress $gwpip $subnet = Get-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name GatewaySubnet -VirtualNetwork $vnet

$gwpip = New-AzPublicIpAddress -Name GwIP -ResourceGroupName LAB-RG -Location southeastasia -AllocationMethod Dynamic Static IP address is not supported on Azure VPN gateways. Note: Currently, you can only use a Dynamic public IP address for the gateway. Allocate Public IP Address for the VPN gateway:Īllocate a public IP address which will be assigned to Azure VPN Gateway, run the following command to allocate public IP address and create gateway IP configuration that will be used when creating Az VPN Gateway. $vnet = Get-AzVirtualNetwork -Name “LAB-VNET1”Īdd-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name “GatewaySubnet” -VirtualNetwork $Vnet -AddressPrefix “192.168.3.0/27” | Set-AzVirtualNetworkģ. Below PowerShell cmdlet will create gateway subnet. We shouldn’t never deploy VMs or any other resources to the gateway subnet apart from Azure VPN Gateway. Subnet name must be “GatewaySubnet”, don’t name your gateway subnet something else. I’m creating “GatewaySubnet” in above VNET, you need to have a gateway subnet in the VNet in order to configure an Azure VPN Gateway. Create Gateway Subnet in the Virtual Network: New-AzVirtualNetwork -Name LAB-VNET1 -ResourceGroupName LAB-RG -Location southeastasia -AddressPrefix “192.168.0.0/16” -Subnet $Subnet1, $Subnet2Ģ. $Subnet2 = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name Lab-Subnet2 -AddressPrefix “192.168.2.0/24” $Subnet1 = New-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name Lab-Subnet1 -AddressPrefix “192.168.1.0/24” I’m creating a new VNET with CIDR “192.168.0.0/16”, this VNET will have three subnets including “GatewaySubnet” needed for Azure VPN Gateway. Now let’s go ahead and start implementing the above steps practically to complete this lab deployment. Test VPN Connectivity between AWS VPC and Azure VNET.
