    VPN Gateway：Synchronize data to a database in a VPC over a VPN gateway

    更新時間：Dec 20, 2024

    This topic describes how to synchronize data between a data center and a database in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You can perform the synchronization by using Data Transmission Service (DTS) over a public VPN gateway.

    Scenarios

    The following scenario is used in this topic: An enterprise has a VPC in the China (Hohhot) region and a data center in Hohhot. The enterprise has created databases in both the data center and the VPC. The enterprise wants to synchronize data from its data center to a database in the VPC.

    The enterprise can use a public VPN gateway to create IPsec-VPN connections between the data center and the VPC. This helps implement encrypted communication between the two ends. Then, the enterprise can use DTS to automatically synchronize data from the data center to the database in the VPC.

    Step 1: Create a VPN gateway

    1. Log on to the VPN Gateway console.

    2. In the top navigation bar, select the region where you want to create the VPN gateway.

      The region of the VPN gateway must be the same as that of the VPC to be associated.

    3. On the VPN Gateway page, click Create VPN Gateway.

    4. On the buy page, configure the following parameters, click Buy Now, and then complete the payment.

      Parameter

      Description

      Example

      Name

      Enter a name for the VPN gateway.

      In this example, VPNGW is used.

      Resource Group

      Select the resource group to which the VPN gateway belongs.

      If you leave this parameter empty, the VPN gateway belongs to the default resource group.

      In this example, this parameter is left empty.

      Region

      Select the region in which you want to create the VPN gateway.

      In this example, China (Hohhot) is selected.

      Gateway Type

      Select a gateway type.

      In this example, Standard is selected.

      Network Type

      Select a network type for the VPN gateway.

      • Public: The VPN gateway can be used to establish VPN connections over the Internet.

      • Private: The VPN gateway can be used to establish VPN connections over private networks.

      In this example, Public is selected.

      Tunnels

      Select a tunnel mode. Valid values:

      • Dual-tunnel

      • Single-tunnel

      For more information about the single-tunnel mode and dual-tunnel mode, see [Upgrade notice] IPsec-VPN connections support the dual-tunnel mode.

      In this example, the default value Dual-tunnel is used.

      VPC

      Select the VPC that you want to associate with the VPN gateway.

      In this example, the VPC deployed in the China (Hohhot) region is selected.

      VSwitch

      Select a vSwitch from the selected VPC.

      • If you select Single-tunnel, you need to specify only one vSwitch.

      • If you select Dual-tunnel, you need to specify two vSwitches.

        After the IPsec-VPN feature is enabled, the system creates an elastic network interface (ENI) for each of the two vSwitches as an interface to communicate with the VPC over an IPsec-VPN connection. Each ENI occupies one IP address in the vSwitch.

      Note

      • The system selects a vSwitch by default. You can change or use the default vSwitch.

      • After a VPN gateway is created, you cannot modify the vSwitch associated with the VPN gateway. You can view the vSwitch associated with the VPN gateway, the zone to which the vSwitch belongs, and the ENI in the vSwitch on the details page of the VPN gateway.

      In this example, a vSwitch in the VPC is selected.

      vSwitch 2

      Select another vSwitch from the selected VPC.

      • Specify two vSwitches in different zones in the associated VPC to implement disaster recovery across zones for IPsec-VPN connections.

      • For a region that supports only one zone, disaster recovery across zones is not supported. We recommend that you specify two vSwitches in the zone to implement high availability of IPsec-VPN connections. You can also select the same vSwitch as the first one.

      Note

      If only one vSwitch is deployed in the VPC, create a vSwitch. For more information, see Create and manage a vSwitch.

      In this example, another vSwitch in the VPC is selected.

      Peak Bandwidth

      Select a maximum bandwidth value for the VPN gateway. Unit: Mbit/s.

      In this example, the default value is used.

      Traffic

      Select a metering method for the VPN gateway. Default value: Pay-by-data-transfer.

      For more information, see Billing.

      In this example, the default value is used.

      IPsec-VPN

      Specify whether to enable IPsec-VPN. Default value: Enable.

      In this example, Enable is selected.

      SSL-VPN

      Specify whether to enable SSL-VPN. Default value: Disable.

      In this example, Disable is selected.

      Duration

      Select a billing cycle for the VPN gateway. Default value: By Hour.

      In this example, the default value is used.

      Service-linked Role

      Click Create Service-linked Role. The system automatically creates the service-linked role AliyunServiceRoleForVpn.

      The VPN gateway assumes this role to access other cloud resources.

      If Created is displayed, the service-linked role is created and you do not need to create it again.

      Configure this parameter based on actual conditions.

    5. Return to the VPN Gateways page to view the VPN gateway.

      After you create a VPN gateway, it is in the Preparing state. After 1 to 5 minutes, the VPN gateway changes to the Normal state. The Normal state indicates that the VPN gateway has been initialized and can be used.

      Two public IP addresses are assigned to the public VPN gateway for establishing two encrypted tunnels. The following table describes the public IP addresses that are assigned to the VPN gateway.

    2. Add routing configurations to Gateway Device 1 and Gateway 2 in the data center.

      1. Add a route that points to the VPC to Gateway Device 1 and Gateway Device 2. 

        // Add a route that points to the VPC to Gateway Device 1.
ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0  47.XX.XX.3
ip route 100.104.0.0 255.255.0.0  47.XX.XX.3
// Add a route that points to the VPC to Gateway Device 2.
ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0  47.XX.XX.169
ip route 100.104.0.0 255.255.0.0  47.XX.XX.169

      2. Add routes to the data center based on your network environment. The routes must allow network traffic to be transmitted from the data center to the VPC preferentially over On-premises Gateway Device 1. If On-premises Gateway Device 1 is down, On-premises Gateway Device 2 automatically takes over. Contact your vendor to obtain the information about specific commands.

    Procedure if IKEv1 is used

    1. Add the VPN configurations downloaded in Step 3 to the gateway devices in the data center.

      1. Open the CLI of the gateway device.

      2. Create an ISAKMP policy. 

        // Add the following configurations to Gateway Device 1 and Gateway Device 2 in the data center:
crypto isakmp policy 1 
authentication pre-share 
encryption aes
hash sha 
group  2
lifetime 86400

      3. Set a pre-shared key. 

        // Add the following configurations to Gateway Device 1 in the data center:
crypto isakmp key fddsFF123**** address 47.XX.XX.3
// Add the following configurations to On-premises Gateway Device 2:
crypto isakmp key fddsFF456**** address 47.XX.XX.169

      4. Configure the IPsec protocol. 

        // Add the following configurations to Gateway Device 1 and Gateway Device 2 in the data center:
crypto ipsec transform-set ipsecpro64 esp-aes esp-sha-hmac 
mode tunnel

      5. Create an ACL to implement access control. 

        // Add the following configurations to Gateway Device 1 and Gateway Device 2 in the data center:
access-list 100 permit ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255

      6. Create an IPsec policy. 

        // Add the following configurations to On-premises Gateway Device 1:
crypto map ipsecpro64 10 ipsec-isakmp
set peer 47.XX.XX.3
set transform-set ipsecpro64
set pfs group2
match address 100
// Add the following configurations to On-premises Gateway Device 2:
crypto map ipsecpro64 10 ipsec-isakmp
set peer 47.XX.XX.169
set transform-set ipsecpro64
set pfs group2
match address 100

      7. Apply the IPsec policy. 

        // Add the following configurations to Gateway Device 1 in the data center:
interface GigabitEthernet1    // Apply the IPsec policy to the interface that is assigned a public IP address.
crypto map ipsecpro64
// Add the following configurations to Gateway Device 2 in the data center:
interface GigabitEthernet1    // Apply the IPsec policy to the interface that is assigned a public IP address.
crypto map ipsecpro64

    2. Add routing configurations to Gateway Device 1 and Gateway 2 in the data center.

      1. Add a route that points to the VPC to Gateway Device 1 and Gateway Device 2. 

        // Add a route that points to the VPC to Gateway Device 1.
ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0  47.XX.XX.3
ip route 100.104.0.0 255.255.0.0  47.XX.XX.3
// Add a route that points to the VPC to Gateway Device 2.
ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0  47.XX.XX.169
ip route 100.104.0.0 255.255.0.0  47.XX.XX.169

      2. Add routes to the data center based on your network environment. The routes must allow network traffic to be transmitted from the data center to the VPC preferentially over On-premises Gateway Device 1. If On-premises Gateway Device 1 is down, On-premises Gateway Device 2 automatically takes over. Contact your vendor to obtain the information about specific commands.

    Step 6: Test the connectivity

    After you complete the preceding configurations, the data center and the VPC can communicate with each other. You can perform the following operations to verify the network connectivity between the two ends.

    Important

    Before the test, make sure that you understand the security group rules applied to the ECS instance in the VPC and the ACL rules applied to the data center. Make sure that the rules allow mutual access between the VPC and the data center. For more information about the security group rules, see View security group rules and Add a security group rule.

    1. Log on to the ECS instance in the VPC.

      For more information about how to log on to an ECS instance, see Connect to an instance.

    2. Run the ping command on the ECS instance to access the database server in the data center.

      If the ECS instance can receive echo reply packets, the data center and the VPC can communicate with each other. 

      ping <IP address of the database server in the data center>

    Step 7: Create a DTS task to synchronize data

    After the test is passed, you can create a DTS data synchronization task. After the task is configured, the data is automatically synchronized from the data center to the database in the VPC.

    In this example, the data is synchronized to a MySQL instance. For more information about data synchronization in DTS, see Overview of data synchronization scenarios.

    1. Use one of the following methods to go to the Data Synchronization page and select the region in which the data synchronization instance resides.

      DTS console

      1. Log on to the DTS console.

      2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Data Synchronization.

      3. In the upper-left corner of the page, select the region in which the data synchronization instance resides.

      DMS console

      Note

      The actual operations may vary based on the mode and layout of the DMS console. For more information, see Simple mode and Customize the layout and style of the DMS console.

      1. Log on to the DMS console.

      2. In the top navigation bar, move the pointer over Data Development and choose DTS (DTS) > Data Synchronization.

      3. From the drop-down list to the right of Data Synchronization Tasks, select the region in which the data synchronization instance resides.

    2. Click Create Task to go to the task configuration page.

    3. Optional. Click New Configuration Page in the upper-right corner of the page.

      Note

      • Skip this step if the Back to Previous Version button is displayed in the upper-right corner of the page.

      • Specific parameters in the new and previous versions of the configuration page may be different. We recommend that you use the new version of the configuration page.

    4. Configure the source and destination databases. The following table describes the parameters.

      Section

    5. In the lower part of the page, click Test Connectivity and Proceed.

      Make sure that the security group rules applied to the ECS instance and the ACL rules applied to the data center allow access from DTS. For more information about the CIDR blocks used by DTS, see Add the CIDR blocks of DTS servers.

      Warning

      If the CIDR blocks of DTS servers are automatically or manually added to the whitelist of the database, or to the ECS security group rules, security risks may arise. Therefore, before you use DTS to synchronize data, you must understand and acknowledge the potential risks and take preventive measures, including: enhancing the security of your usernames and passwords, limiting the ports that are exposed, authenticating API calls, regularly checking the whitelist or ECS security group rules and forbidding unauthorized CIDR blocks, or connecting the database to DTS by using Express Connect, VPN Gateway, or Smart Access Gateway.

      • If the data center and the database in the VPC can be connected, the network connectivity between the databases is normal. In this case, the system redirects you to the Configure Objects and Advanced Settings step. You can continue to configure the DTS data synchronization task. After the task is configured, you can start to synchronize data. For more information about how to configure a DTS data synchronization task, see Configure two-way data synchronization between MySQL instances.

      • If the system detects that the data center cannot be connected to the database in the VPC, you are not redirected to the next step. In this case, troubleshoot the issue as prompted. For more information, see What do I do if an error is reported when I connect a database instance to DTS over VPN?
