Azure S2S VPN connections provide secure, cross-premises connectivity between customer premises and Azure. This tutorial walks through IPsec S2S VPN connection life cycles such as creating and managing a S2S VPN connection. You learn how to:
The following diagram shows the topology for this tutorial:
Encrypted communication between client and server will occur over UDP port 1194, the default OpenVPN port. Generate a static key: openvpn -genkey -secret static.key. Copy the static key to both client and server, over a pre-existing secure channel. Server configuration file dev tun ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2 secret static.key Client.
This article uses PowerShell cmdlets. To run the cmdlets, you can use Azure Cloud Shell. The Azure Cloud Shell is a free interactive shell that you can use to run the steps in this article. It has common Azure tools preinstalled and configured to use with your account.
To open the Cloud Shell, just select Try it from the upper right corner of a code block. You can also launch Cloud Shell in a separate browser tab by going to https://shell.azure.com/powershell. Select Copy to copy the blocks of code, paste it into the Cloud Shell, and press enter to run it.
Complete the first tutorial: Create VPN gateway with Azure PowerShell to create the following resources:
The virtual network parameter values are listed below. Note the additional values for the local network gateway which represent your on-premises network. Change the values below based on your environment and network setup, then copy and paste to set the variables for this tutorial. If your Cloud Shell session times out, or you need to use a different PowerShell window, copy and paste the variables to your new session and continue the tutorial.
Note
If you are using this to make a connection, be sure to change the values to match your on-premises network. If you are just running these steps as a tutorial, you don't need to make changes, but the connection will not work.
The workflow to create an S2S VPN connection is straightforward:
A local network gateway represents your on-premises network. You can specify the properties of your on-premises network in the local network gateway, including:
Create a local network gateway with the New-AzLocalNetworkGateway command.
Next, create a Site-to-Site VPN connection between your virtual network gateway and your VPN device with the New-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnection. Notice that the '-ConnectionType' for Site-to-Site VPN is IPsec.
Add the optional '-EnableBGP $True' property to enable BGP for the connection if you are using BGP. It is disabled by default. Parameter '-ConnectionProtocol' is optional with IKEv2 as default. You can create the connection with IKEv1 protocols by specifying -ConnectionProtocol IKEv1.
Azure S2S VPN connection uses a pre-shared key (secret) to authenticate between your on-premises VPN device and the Azure VPN gateway. You can view and update the pre-shared key for a connection with Get-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnectionSharedKey and Set-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnectionSharedKey.
Important
The pre-shared key is a string of printable ASCII characters no longer than 128 in length.
This command shows the pre-shared key for the connection:
The output will be 'Azure@!b2C3' following the example above. Use the command below to change the pre-shared key value to 'Azure@!_b2=C3':
Azure VPN gateway supports BGP dynamic routing protocol. You can enable BGP on each individual connection, depending on whether you are using BGP in your on-premises networks and devices. Specify the following BGP properties before enabling BGP on the connection:
Users find it difficult to choose the most effective one. This prompts the rise of anti-virus software as well. Product key generator office. This article is presenting to you Hitman Pro Product Key software.Hitman Pro Product key is really a software that lives up to the standard of what it is created for. These set of security tools are created to fight against the activities and the threats viruses pose to the computer system. Thereby, many software that can combat their activities is now on the market.
If you have not configured the BGP properties, the following commands add these properties to your VPN gateway and local network gateway: Set-AzVirtualNetworkGateway and Set-AzLocalNetworkGateway.
The file /.ssh/authorizedkeys (on the server) is supposed to have a mode of 600. The permissions of the (private) key on the client-side should be 600. If the private key was not protected with a password, and you put it on the server, I recommend you to generate a new one: ssh-keygen -t rsa. Generate authorized key file with ssh-keygen ubuntu windows 7. Jul 29, 2019 Step 1- Generate the SSH Key Pair. On your client system – the one you’re using to connect to the server – you need to create a pair of key codes. To generate a pair of SSH key codes, enter the commands: This will create a hidden directory to store your SSH keys.
Use the following example to configure BGP properties:
Enable BGP with Set-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnection.
You can disable BGP by changing the '-EnableBGP' property value to $False. Refer to BGP on Azure VPN gateways for more detailed explanations of BGP on Azure VPN gateways.
You can apply an optional IPsec/IKE policy to specify the exact combination of IPsec/IKE cryptographic algorithms and key strengths on the connection, instead of using the default proposals. The following sample script creates a different IPsec/IKE policy with the following algorithms and parameters:
Refer to IPsec/IKE policy for S2S or VNet-to-VNet connections for a complete list of algorithms and instructions.
Add an additional S2S VPN connection to the same VPN gateway, create another local network gateway, and create a new connection between the new local network gateway and the VPN gateway. Use the following examples, making sure to modify the variables to reflect your own network configuration.
There are now two S2S VPN connections to your Azure VPN gateway.
Delete a S2S VPN connection with Remove-AzVirtualNetworkGatewayConnection.
Delete the local network gateway if you no longer need it. You cannot delete a local network gateway if there are other connections associated with it.
If this configuration is part of a prototype, test, or proof-of-concept deployment, you can use the Remove-AzResourceGroup command to remove the resource group, the VPN gateway, and all related resources.
In this tutorial, you learned about creating and managing S2S VPN connections such as how to:
