How to create VPC Private gateway

November 19, 2013 09:47

Hello,

I have read the instructions on how to create a VPC private gateway, but i can not figure what to put

in the different boxes..

I have a customer they are using VLAN12 (on the cloud), with an IP range 10.17.20.0/24, and now i have put in a 1gb direct connection to their office i have created a vlan40 an plugged it in, the iP address on this router is: 10.17.20.4/24.

Physical Network: The physical network you have created in the zone.
IP Address: The IP address associated with the VPC gateway.
Gateway: The gateway through which the traffic is routed to and from the VPC.
Netmask: The netmask associated with the VPC gateway.
VLAN: The VLAN associated with the VPC gateway.

I know Physical network, vlan but other than this, i can not figure it out.

Kind regards

Gert

If I recall correctly you have to create a link network between them that you add to your VPC.

As far as I know you cannot have the same ip network on both sides of the gateway.

Example:

Cloud network inside the VPC: 10.17.20.0/24
External customer network: 10.17.21.0/24
Link network: 10.17.22.0/30, vlan 41 or whatever you have available

Inside the link network you give your VPC the ip address 10.17.22.2 and in the gateway you put 10.17.22.1.

On 10.17.22.1 you configure a router to route between the networks.
