Windows Azure Virtual network configuration (site to site)

In the previous article we created a virtual network connection to site that meets the client-to-cloud network connection. In this article we will create a virtual network connection for site to site that meets the local network-to-cloud network connection.

The creation and configuration process is similar to the previous one, and the same can be omitted by ourselves.

1). Sign in to the Azure management portal

International Version: Https://manage.windowsazure.com

Domestic version: https://manage.windowsazure.cn

Select the network in the Management Portal Navigator, and on the right, select Create virtual network.

First step: Fill in the name and select location

Fill in the appropriate name and select the appropriate network access location after clicking on the Next button

Step Two: Configure DNS and VPN types

Fill in the DNS server address and, if empty, use the Azure default DNS server;

Select VPN Type: Select Site-to-site connections.

　　

Step three: Set the local router address and address space

Example: The VPN router address for the local office network is 121.123.132.15, and the address segment of the 10.1.100.0 is set.

　　

Fourth step: Set up the azure virtual network address space

Here we have added a subnet and a gateway subnet.

Click "Finish" to end the creation of the virtual network.

　　

Fifth step: Create a Gateway

Tap into the virtual network you just created, go to the dashboard, and tap create Gateway

　　　　

Sixth step: Configure the local router (VPN device)

Click "Download VPN Device script" to select the configuration script based on the type of device we have.

Examples of Cisco device Profile content:

　　

Next we need to send this file to the network manager to configure the router, as we are using a device that is not within the scope of several configuration scripts provided by Azure, and can also be manually configured by the network manager by referring to the information in the file.

Specific steps:

a). Select a Cisco device, download the configuration script file

b). Open the downloaded configuration file using a text editor

c). Record the following information:

Connection protocol: IKE

Authentication method: Shared Key

Key and Address:

Encryption method: AES

Certification: SHA1

After the configuration is complete, you can view the connection status of the virtual network in the dashboard page.
