Virtual Private Cloud:CreateVpnAttachment

Last Updated:Aug 29, 2024

Creates an IPsec-VPN connection. After you create the IPsec-VPN connection, you can associate the IPsec-VPN connection with a transit router.

Operation description

By default, an IPsec-VPN connection created by calling the CreateVpnAttachment operation is not associated with a resource. You can associate an IPsec-VPN connection with a transit router by calling the CreateTransitRouterVpnAttachment operation.

Prerequisites

Before you create an IPsec-VPN connection, make sure that you created a customer gateway in the region where you want to create the IPsec-VPN connection. For more information, see CreateCustomerGateway .

If you want to add BGP configurations to an IPsec-VPN connection, make sure that an autonomous system number (ASN) is assigned to the customer gateway.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer.
