CreateIpsecServer - Virtual Private Cloud - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Creates an IPsec server.

Operation description

Before you create an IPsec server, you must create a VPN gateway and enable the SSL-VPN feature for the VPN gateway. For more information, see CreateVpnGateway .
Before you create an IPsec server, make sure that no IPsec-VPN connection exists on the VPN gateway. For more information, see DeleteVpnConnection .
CreateIpsecServer is an asynchronous operation. After a request is sent, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call DescribeVpnGateway to query the status of the task.
- If the VPN gateway is in the updating state, the IPsec server is being created.
- If the VPN gateway is in the active state, the IPsec server is created.
You cannot repeatedly call CreateIpsecServer within the specified period of time.

Authorization information

The following table shows the authorization information corresponding to the API. The authorization information can be used in the Action policy element to grant a RAM user or RAM role the permissions to call this API operation. Description:

Operation: the value that you can use in the Action element to specify the operation on a resource.
Access level: the access level of each operation. The levels are read, write, and list.
Resource type: the type of the resource on which you can authorize the RAM user or the RAM role to perform the operation. Take note of the following items:
- The required resource types are displayed in bold characters.
- If the permissions cannot be granted at the resource level, All Resources is used in the Resource type column of the operation.
Condition Key: the condition key that is defined by the cloud service.
Associated operation: other operations that the RAM user or the RAM role must have permissions to perform to complete the operation. To complete the operation, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform the associated operations.

Operation	Access level	Resource type	Condition key	Associated operation
vpc:CreateIpsecServer	create	All Resources *	none	none

Request parameters

VpnGatewayId	string	Yes	The ID of the VPN gateway.	vpn-bp17lofy9fd0dnvzv****
LocalSubnet	string	Yes	The local CIDR blocks, which are the CIDR blocks of the virtual private cloud (VPC) for the client to access. Multiple CIDR blocks are separated with commas (,). Example: 192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24.	192.168.0.0/24
ClientIpPool	string	Yes	The client CIDR block from which an IP address is allocated to the virtual network interface controller (NIC) of the client. Note The client CIDR block must not overlap with the CIDR blocks of the VPC.	10.0.0.0/24
IpSecServerName	string	No	The name of the IPsec server. The name must be 1 to 100 characters in length.	test
EffectImmediately	boolean	No	Specify whether to start connection negotiations immediately. Valid values: true: immediately initiates negotiations after the configuration is complete. false (default): initiates negotiations when inbound traffic is detected. This is the default value.	true
IkeConfig	string	No	The configuration of Phase 1 negotiation. Valid values: IkeVersion: the IKE version. Valid values: ikev1 and ikev2. Default value: ikev2. IkeMode: the IKE negotiation mode. Default value: main. IkeEncAlg: the encryption algorithm that is used in Phase 1 negotiation. Default value: aes. IkeAuthAlg: the authentication algorithm that is used in Phase 1 negotiation. Default value: sha1. IkePfs: the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm that is used in Phase 1 negotiation. Default value: group2. IkeLifetime: the security association (SA) lifetime determined by Phase 1 negotiation. Unit: seconds. Valid values: 0 to 86400. Default value: 86400. LocalId: the identifier of the IPsec server. The value can be a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or an IP address. The default value is the public IP address of the VPN gateway. RemoteId: the peer identifier. The value can be an FQDN or an IP address. The default value is empty.	{"IkeVersion":"ikev2","IkeMode":"main","IkeEncAlg":"aes","IkeAuthAlg":"sha1","IkePfs":"group2","IkeLifetime":86400}

The Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm that is used in Phase 2 negotiation. Default value: group2. IpsecLifetime: the SA lifetime determined by Phase 2 negotiation. Unit: seconds. Valid values: 0 to 86400. Default value: 86400.	{"IpsecEncAlg":"aes","IpsecAuthAlg":"sha1","IpsecPfs":"group2","IpsecLifetime":86400}
PskEnabled	boolean	No	Indicates whether pre-shared key authentication is enabled. If you set the value to true, pre-shared key authentication is enabled. Note This parameter is required.	true
Psk	string	No	The pre-shared key. The pre-shared key is used for identity authentication between the IPsec server and the client. The key must be 1 to 100 characters in length. If you do not specify a pre-shared key, the system randomly generates a 16-character string as the pre-shared key. You can call the ListIpsecServers operation to query the pre-shared keys that are generated by the system. Note The pre-shared key of the IPsec server must be the same as the client key. Otherwise, the IPsec server cannot be connected to the client.	Cfd123****
ClientToken	string	No	The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters. Note If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the request ID as the client token. The request ID may be different for each request.	d7d24a21-f4ba-4454-9173-b38****
DryRun	string	No	Specifies whether to only precheck this request. Valid values: true: prechecks the request without creating the IPsec server. The system checks the required parameters, request format, and service limits. If the request fails to pass the precheck, an error code is returned. If the request passes the precheck, the `DryRunOperation` error code is returned. false (default): sends the request. This is the default value. If the request passes the precheck, the system creates the IPsec server.	false
