Description:

  • High availability through an IPsec VPN connection in a single region.
  • Must properly configure 2 or 4 BGP tunnel from your HA VPN gateway to your peer VPN gateway or to another HA VPN gateway.
    • HA VPN gateway can have multiple tunnels
    • Each tunnel on the 2 sides of the gateway must have the same number
  • When HA VPN gateway is created, GCP automatically chooses two external IP addresses, one for each of its fixed number of two interfaces
    • from a unique address pool to support high availability.
  • if you run HA VPN to a remote VPN gateway on-premises for a customer, you can connect in one of the following ways:
    • Two on-premises VPN gateway devices: Each of the tunnels from each interface on the Cloud VPN gateway must be connected to its own peer gateway.
    • A single on-premises VPN gateway device with two interfaces: Each of the tunnels from each interface on the Cloud VPN gateway must be connected to its own interface on the peer gateway.
    • A single on-premises VPN gateway device with a single interface: Both of the tunnels from each interface on the Cloud VPN gateway must be connected to the same interface on the peer gateway.
  • Depending on the way that you configure route priorities for HA VPN tunnels, you can create an active/active or active/passive routing configuration.
