3 Registering a Third-Party VPN Device

To establish a VPN connection to your Compute Classic instances, after creating a Corente Services Gateway instance, register a VPN device to provide information about the third-party VPN gateway used in your data center.

To complete this task, you must have the Compute_Operations role. If this role isn’t assigned to you or you’re not sure, then ask your system administrator to ensure that the role is assigned to you in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Console. See Modifying User Roles in Managing and Monitoring Oracle Cloud.

1. Sign in to the Compute Classic console. If your domain spans multiple sites, select the appropriate site. To change the site, click the Site menu near the top of the page.
2. Click the Network tab.
3. In the Network drop-down list, expand VPN, expand Corente, and then click Customer Devices.
4. Click Create VPN Device.
5. Select or enter the required information:
   • Name: Enter a name for the third-party VPN device.
   • Type: Select a supported third-party VPN device from the list.
   • Model: Enter the model of your third-party VPN device.
   • WAN IP Address: Enter the IP address of the WAN interface of your third-party VPN device.
   • Visible IP Address: Enter the public IP address of your third-party VPN device that the Corente Services Gateway should connect to. If you use network address translation (NAT), then this IP address would be different from the WAN IP address. Otherwise, the visible IP address would be the same as the WAN IP Address.
   • Subnets: Enter (in CIDR format) a comma-separated list of subnets in your data center that should be reachable using this third-party device.
   • PFS: This option is selected by default. If your third-party device supports Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), retain this setting to require PFS.
   • DPD: This option is selected by default. If your third-party device supports Dead Peer Detection (DPD), retain this setting to require DPD.
6. Click Create.
   A record of your third-party VPN device is created. Next, to use this VPN device to establish a VPN connection between your data center and your Compute Classic instances, create a VPN connection. See Connecting the Cloud Gateway with the Third-Party Device.
