Example: Oracle Analytics Cloud Connection to an On-premises Database

The Network Path Analyzer discovers forward and return paths in your network. You can use the results to check the logical network paths match your intent and verify that the virtual network connectivity setup works as you expect before you start to send traffic or to troubleshoot issues.

Here's a sample network path analysis for an Oracle Analytics Cloud connection:

• Source: Oracle Analytics Cloud with a private access channel (PAC), with PAC Egress IP address 10.0.0.78

• Destination: On-premises database with IP address 172.103.0.2 and port 1521

Oracle Analytics Cloud connects to the on-premises database through an IPSec VPN.

Forward Path

In this example, the forward path shows four successful, reachable network hops.

• Hop 1: Oracle Analytics Cloud with IP address 10.0.0.78 to the OCI VCN dynamic routing gateway
• Hop 2: OCI VCN dynamic routing gateway to the IPSec dynamic routing gateway
• Hop 3: IPSec dynamic routing gateway to the customer on-premises equipment, over site-to-site VPN
• Hop 4: Customer on-premises equipment to the database with IP address 172.103.0.2

Return Path

In this example, the return path shows four successful, reachable network hops.

• Hop 1: Customer database with IP address 172.103.0.2 to the customer on-premises equipment
• Hop 2: Customer on-premises equipment to the OCI tenancy, over site-to-site VPN
• Hop 3: IPSec dynamic routing gateway to the OCI VCN dynamic routing gateway
• Hop 4: OCI VCN dynamic routing gateway to Oracle Analytics Cloud with IP address 10.0.0.78, over a private access channel
