Overview of partner VPN device configurations

  • Artikkel

This article provides an overview of configuring on-premises VPN devices for connecting to Azure VPN gateways. A sample Azure virtual network and VPN gateway setup is used to show you how to connect to different on-premises VPN device configurations by using the same parameters.

Device requirements

Azure VPN gateways use standard IPsec/IKE protocol suites for site-to-site (S2S) VPN tunnels. For a list of IPsec/IKE parameters and cryptographic algorithms for Azure VPN gateways, see About VPN devices. You can also specify the exact algorithms and key strengths for a specific connection as described in About cryptographic requirements.

Single VPN tunnel

The first configuration in the sample consists of a single S2S VPN tunnel between an Azure VPN gateway and an on-premises VPN device. You can optionally configure the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) across the VPN tunnel.

Diagram of a single S2S VPN tunnel

For step-by-step instructions to set up a single VPN tunnel, see Configure a site-to-site connection. The following sections specify the connection parameters for the sample configuration and provide a PowerShell script to help you get started.

Connection parameters

This section lists the parameters for the examples that are described in the previous sections.

Parameter Value
Virtual network address prefixes 10.11.0.0/16
10.12.0.0/16
Azure VPN gateway IP Azure VPN Gateway IP
On-premises address prefixes 10.51.0.0/16
10.52.0.0/16
On-premises VPN device IP On-premises VPN device IP
* Virtual network BGP ASN 65010
* Azure BGP peer IP 10.12.255.30
* On-premises BGP ASN 65050
* On-premises BGP peer IP 10.52.255.254

* Optional parameter for BGP only.

Sample PowerShell script

This section provides a sample script to get you started. For detailed instructions, see Create an S2S VPN connection by using PowerShell.

(Optional) Use custom IPsec/IKE policy with UsePolicyBasedTrafficSelectors

If your VPN devices don't support any-to-any traffic selectors, such as route-based or VTI-based configurations, create a custom IPsec/IKE policy with the UsePolicyBasedTrafficSelectors option.

Important

You must create an IPsec/IKE policy to enable the UsePolicyBasedTrafficSelectors option on the connection.

The sample script creates an IPsec/IKE policy with the following algorithms and parameters:

  • IKEv2: AES256, SHA384, DHGroup24
  • IPsec: AES256, SHA1, PFS24, SA Lifetime 7,200 seconds, and 20,480,000 KB (20 GB)

The script applies the IPsec/IKE policy and enables the UsePolicyBasedTrafficSelectors option on the connection.

$ipsecpolicy5 = New-AzIpsecPolicy -IkeEncryption AES256 -IkeIntegrity SHA384 -DhGroup DHGroup24 -IpsecEncryption AES256 -IpsecIntegrity SHA1 -PfsGroup PFS24 -SALifeTimeSeconds 7200 -SADataSizeKilobytes 20480000

$vnet1gw = Get-AzVirtualNetworkGateway -Name $GWName1  -ResourceGroupName $RG1
$lng5gw  = Get-AzLocalNetworkGateway -Name $LNGName5 -ResourceGroupName $RG1

New-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnection -Name $Connection15 -ResourceGroupName $RG1 -VirtualNetworkGateway1 $vnet1gw -LocalNetworkGateway2 $lng5gw -Location $Location1 -ConnectionType IPsec -SharedKey 'AzureA1b2C3' -EnableBGP $False -IpsecPolicies $ipsecpolicy5 -UsePolicyBasedTrafficSelectors $True

(Optional) Use BGP on S2S VPN connection

When you create the S2S VPN connection, you can optionally use BGP for the VPN gateway. This approach has two differences:

  • The on-premises address prefixes can be a single host address. The on-premises BGP peer IP address is specified as follows:

    New-AzLocalNetworkGateway -Name $LNGName5 -ResourceGroupName $RG1 -Location $Location1 -GatewayIpAddress $LNGIP5 -AddressPrefix $LNGPrefix50 -Asn $LNGASN5 -BgpPeeringAddress $BGPPeerIP5

  • When you create the connection, you must set the -EnableBGP option to $True:

    New-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnection -Name $Connection15 -ResourceGroupName $RG1 -VirtualNetworkGateway1 $vnet1gw -LocalNetworkGateway2 $lng5gw -Location $Location1 -ConnectionType IPsec -SharedKey 'AzureA1b2C3' -EnableBGP $True
