Site-to-Site connections to an on-premises network require a VPN device. While we don't provide configuration steps for all VPN devices, you may find the information in the following links helpful:
- For information about compatible VPN devices, see VPN Devices.
- For links to device configuration settings, see Validated VPN Devices. The device configuration links are provided on a best-effort basis. It's always best to check with your device manufacturer for the latest configuration information.
- For information about editing device configuration samples, see Editing samples.
- For IPsec/IKE parameters, see Parameters.
- Before configuring your VPN device, check for any Known device compatibility issues for the VPN device that you want to use.
When configuring your VPN device, you need the following:
-
A shared key. This is the same shared key that you specify when creating your Site-to-Site VPN connection. In our examples, we use a basic shared key. We recommend that you generate a more complex key to use.
-
The Public IP address of your virtual network gateway. You can view the public IP address by using the Azure portal, PowerShell, or CLI.
