To connect your IDC to a Tencent Cloud VPC via IPsec VPN connection, you need to configure the VPN on the gateway device of your local IDC after configuring the VPN gateway on Tencent Cloud. This document introduces how to configure the VPN on a Cisco firewall of the local IDC.
Note：
- This document introduces the common configurations of Cisco ASA firewalls.
- Replace all the IPs, ports, and other parameters given in this document with your actual values for configurations.
Prerequisites
You have created a VPN connection as instructed in Creating VPN Gateways in a Tencent Cloud VPC, and configured the VPN tunnel as instructed in Creating VPN tunnel.
Data Preparations
The following table describes the IPsec VPN configuration data.
| Configuration item | Sample value | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Network | VPC information | Subnet CIDR block | 10.1.1.0/24 |
| Public IP of the VPN gateway | 159.xx.xx.242 | ||
| IDC information | Private CIDR block | 172.16.0.0/16 | |
| Public IP of the gateway | 120.xx.xx.76 | ||
| IPsec VPN connection | IKE | Version | IKEV1 |
| Identity verification method | Pre-shared key | ||
| PSK | tencent@123 | ||
| Encryption agorithm | AES-128 | ||
| Authentication algorithm | MD5 | ||
| Negotiation mode | main | ||
| Local ID | IP address: 120.xx.xx.76 | ||
| Remote ID | IP address: 159.xx.xx.242 | ||
| DH group | DH2 | ||
| IKE SA lifetime | 86400 | ||
| IPsec | Encryption algorithm | AES-128 | |
| Authentication algorithm | MD5 | ||
| Packet encapsulation mode | Tunnel | ||
| Security protocol | ESP | ||
| PFS | disable | ||
| IPsec SA lifetime (in seconds) | 3600 s | ||
| IPsec SA lifetime (in KB) | 1843200 KB | ||
| Firewall | Interface | Nameif | outside |
Directions
- Log in to the command-line interface of the firewall device.
ssh -p admin@10.XX.XX.56
# Use the SSH command to log in to the configuration interface of the firewall.
