Setup VPN Connection
Finally, we need to setup the VPN connection from our virtual network gateway in Azure to our local network gateway. In order to do that, navigate to your virtual network gateway, select Connections and click Add to add the new connection.
The following table shows what we need to specify.
| Setting Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | vpn-connection-to-local-network |
| Connection Type | Site-to-Site (IPSec) |
| Virtual Network Gateway | vpn-virtual-network-gateway |
| Local Network Gateway | vpn-local-network-gateway |
| Shared Key (PSK) | e.g. 1SharedSuperSecret! |
| Use Azure Private IP | Not set |
| Enable BGP | Not set |
| IKE Protocol | IKEv1 |
Good the Azure part is now complete. We have the connection visible in the Virtual Network Gateway interface (note the status of the connection is still Connecting).
Let us now move on-premises to configure our Cisco ASA.
