Aviatrix Gateway to Juniper SRX
This document describes how to build an IPsec tunnel-based Site2Cloud connection between an Aviatrix Gateway and a JuniperSRX Firewall.
The network setup is as follows:
VPC/VNet-multicloudvpc1 (with Aviatrix Gateway)
VPC/VNet CIDR: 10.1.1.0/16
VPC/VNet Subnet CIDR (public in AWS, GCP, or OCI): 10.1.1.0/24
VPC/VNet Private Subnet CIDR: 10.1.2.0/24
On-Prem (with Juniper SRX Firewall)
On-Prem Network CIDR: 10.0.0.0/16
On-prem Public Network CIDR: 10.0.3.0/24
On-prem Private Network CIDR: 10.0.2.0/24
Creating a Site2Cloud Connection at the Aviatrix Controller
-
Go to Gateway > New Gateway to launch an Aviatrix Gateway at the subnet of VPC/VNet-multicloudvpc1 (public subnet for AWS, GCP, or OCI). Collect Gateway’s public IP addresses (3.213.233.93 in this example).
-
Go to the Site2Cloud page and click Add New to create a Site2Cloud connection.
