Create a VPN Tunnel From an Organization Virtual Datacenter Network Backed by an Edge Gateway
to a Remote Network
You can create a VPN tunnel between an organization virtual datacenter network that is backed by an edge
gateway and a remote network.
System administrators and organization administrators can create VPN tunnels.
If a firewall is between the tunnel endpoints, you must configure it to allow the following IP protocols and
UDP ports:
n
IP Protocol ID 50 (ESP)
n
IP Protocol ID 51 (AH)
n
UDP Port 500 (IKE)
n
UDP Port 4500
Prerequisites
Verify that you have a routed remote network that uses IPSec and an organization virtual datacenter
network backed by an edge gateway.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab, and click Organization VDCs in the left pane.
2 Double-click the organization virtual datacenter name to open the organization virtual datacenter.
