Connect FCI to VMware

This guide explains how to connect VPNaaS between the VMware and OPS platforms on the Unify portal.

  • Step 1: Configure VPN on OpenStack
  • Step 2: Configure VPN on VMware Cloud
  • Step 3: Verify the connection Ensure the following prerequisites are met:
  • VPNaaS on OPS configured on the Unify Portal
  • VMware Cloud

In this example, we will create a VPN Site-to-Site connection using the parameters shown in the topology below.

Step 1: Configure VPN on OpenStack​

On the FPT Cloud Portal, create a Customer Gateway and a VPN Connection for the VMware side:

  • Customer Gateway — Remote IP public: the Floating IP of the VMware VPN gateway. Remote private network: the LAN subnet range to peer with from VMware.
  • VPN Connection — set Providers to others, enter the provider name VMWare, then enter the IKE and IPsec settings and the Delay / Max failures values.

For detailed steps, see Create Customer Gateway and Create VPN connection.

note

Save the Pre-shared key value — you will need it when creating the VPN Connection on the VMware side in Step 2.

Step 2: Configure VPN on VMware Cloud​

  • Sign in to the VMware system to set up the VPN Site-to-Site connection information.
