After the first 3 steps are completed, the configuration of the cloud VPN gateway and VPN tunnel is complete. You need to continue configuring the VPN tunnel information of the other side on the local gateway at the IDC side. For details, see Local Gateway Configurations. The local gateway on the IDC side is the IPsec VPN device at the IDC, and its public IP address is recorded in the customer gateway in Step 2: Create a Customer Gateway. A local gateway is generally deployed in the following scenarios:
Note:
Both of the following methods require that the VPN configuration on your local gateway be consistent with the VPN tunnel information in Step 3: Create a VPN Tunnel; otherwise, the VPN tunnel cannot connect properly. The VPN tunnel configuration information on Tecent Cloud can be viewed through the VPN tunnel console and imported by downloading the configuration file, which is then loaded into the IPsec VPN gateway of the local data center to complete the configuration. Establishing connectivity between Tecent Cloud and the local data center
A local gateway is a network device with a VPN feature, generally a data center's outbound router or firewall. You can configure the VPN on this network device to complete the configuration of the local gateway.
Note:
Configurations may vary according to the network device manufacturers (such as H3C and Cisco). Please configure according to the specific circumstances of the network devices.
Establishing connectivity between Tecent Cloud and other public clouds
The local gateway is the VPN gateway on your target public cloud. You need to operate the VPN gateway on the target public cloud to complete the VPN configuration for the local gateway. Please refer to the documentation of the target public cloud for specific configuration methods.
