Download the External Connection Configuration

If you are connecting an Aviatrix gateway and an on-premises router or firewall, Aviatrix can generate a configuration file that you can apply to your remote router or firewall. The configuration file contains the Aviatrix gateway tunnel details, such as the Public IP address, VPC/VNet CIDR, pre-shared key, and encryption algorithm. You can download the configuration file and then import the details to your remote router or firewall to configure the other end of the VPN tunnel.

After creating an external connection, to download an external connection configuration:

  1. In Aviatrix CoPilot, go to Networking > Connectivity > External Connections (S2C) tab.

  2. On the External Connections (S2C) tab, locate the connection you created and click the vertical ellipsis vertical ellipsis icon icon on the right side of the row.

  3. Select the following values:

    • Vendor: Select your remote site device. Select Generic for anything that is not an Aviatrix gateway. If you are connecting two Aviatrix gateways, you select Aviatrix as the vendor.

    • Platform and Software:

      • If you selected a Generic vendor, the Platform field is populated as Generic, and the Software field is populated with Vendor Independent.

      • If you selected the Aviatrix vendor, the Platform field is populated with UCC, and the Software version is 1.0.

      • If you selected a specific hardware vendor (such as Cisco), select from the available platforms belonging to that vendor are displayed in the Platform field (ISR, ASR, and CSR are for Cisco routers), and the Software field is populated with the related software version.
