IPsec VPN Overview
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for securing the IP packets of a communication session.
vCloud Air supports using IPsec to create a secure VPN connection between your vCloud Air service and a
remote site, such as your on-premises data center.
The edge gateway supports site-to-site IPsec VPN between an edge gateway instance and remote sites.
Additionally, the edge gateway supports certificate authentication, preshared key mode, and IP unicast
traffic between itself and remote VPN routers.
Using an IPsec tunnel, you can configure multiple subnets to connect to the internal network behind an edge
gateway. These subnets and the internal network behind an edge gateway must have address ranges that do
not overlap.
