create

Description

Creates a new IPSec connection between the specified DRG and CPE. For more information, see Site-to-Site VPN Overview.

If you configure at least one tunnel to use static routing, then in the request you must provide at least one valid static route (you’re allowed a maximum of 10). For example: 10.0.0.0/16. If you configure both tunnels to use BGP dynamic routing, you can provide an empty list for the static routes. For more information, see the important note in IPSecConnection.

For the purposes of access control, you must provide the OCID of the compartment where you want the IPSec connection to reside. Notice that the IPSec connection doesn’t have to be in the same compartment as the DRG, CPE, or other Networking Service components. If you’re not sure which compartment to use, put the IPSec connection in the same compartment as the DRG. For more information about compartments and access control, see Overview of the IAM Service.

You may optionally specify a display name for the IPSec connection, otherwise a default is provided. It does not have to be unique, and you can change it. Avoid entering confidential information.

After creating the IPSec connection, you need to configure your on-premises router with tunnel-specific information. For tunnel status and the required configuration information, see:

For each tunnel, you need the IP address of Oracle’s VPN headend and the shared secret (that is, the pre-shared key). For more information, see CPE Configuration.

Usage

oci network ip-sec-connection create [OPTIONS]

Required Parameters

--compartment-id, -c [text]

The OCID of the compartment to contain the IPSec connection.

--cpe-id [text]

The OCID of the Cpe object.

--drg-id [text]

The OCID of the DRG.

--static-routes [complex type]

Static routes to the CPE. At least one route must be included. The CIDR must not be a multicast address or class E address. This must be provided in JSON format.

Example:

'["10.0.0.0/16"]'

Optional Parameters

--cpe-local-identifier [text]

Your identifier for your CPE device. Can be either an IP address or a hostname (specifically, the fully qualified domain name (FQDN)). The type of identifier you provide here must correspond to the value for cpeLocalIdentifierType.

If you don’t provide a value, the ipAddress attribute for the Cpe object specified by cpeId is used as the cpeLocalIdentifier.

For information about why you’d provide this value, see If Your CPE Is Behind a NAT Device.

Example IP address: 10.0.3.3

Example hostname: cpe.example.com

--cpe-local-identifier-type [text]

The type of identifier for your CPE device. The value you provide here must correspond to the value for cpeLocalIdentifier.

Accepted values are:

HOSTNAME, IP_ADDRESS
--defined-tags [complex type]

Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.

Example:

{"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--display-name [text]

A user-friendly name. Does not have to be unique, and it’s changeable. Avoid entering confidential information.

--freeform-tags [complex type]

Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.

Example:

{"Department": "Finance"}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--from-json [text]

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--max-wait-seconds [integer]

The maximum time to wait for the resource to reach the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

--tunnel-configuration [complex type]

Information for creating the individual tunnels in the IPSec connection. You can provide a maximum of 2 tunnelConfiguration objects in the array (one for each of the two tunnels).

This option is a JSON list with items of type CreateIPSecConnectionTunnelDetails. For documentation on CreateIPSecConnectionTunnelDetails please see our API reference: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/api/#/en/iaas/20160918/datatypes/CreateIPSecConnectionTunnelDetails. This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--wait-for-state [text]

This operation creates, modifies or deletes a resource that has a defined lifecycle state. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the resource reaches a given lifecycle state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

Accepted values are:

AVAILABLE, PROVISIONING, TERMINATED, TERMINATING
--wait-interval-seconds [integer]

Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the resource has reached the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

Example using required parameter

Copy and paste the following example into a JSON file, replacing the example parameters with your own.

    oci network ip-sec-connection create --generate-param-json-input static-routes > static-routes.json

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration and appropriate security policies before trying the examples.
